12/15/22 — 1:00 PM EST
VIA ZOOM
We are incredibly lucky to welcome Karl Fooks of the U.S. Treasury Department, who will be answering all your questions about the State Small Business Credit Initiative. Ten billion dollars have been allocated to the states, territories, Tribal governments, and DC to improve capital access for small businesses, particularly those in and serving underserved communities. This program benefits entrepreneurs and asset managers. How much has your area received? Find out here. How can you access those funds? Join us next Thursday to find out. As you know, we like to keep our events intimate so everyone can engage. For this reason we are limiting this event to twenty people. We have a feeling these are going to go quickly. All are welcome!
