The March 4th, 2010 meeting focused on access to capital. Cluster representatives discussed the challenges that companies in their industries are facing regarding finding financial capital to grow.
Representatives from the angel, VC, banking and credit union community were on hand to respond and share their insights.
Key learnings were that different industries have very different concerns, and that any strategies we pursue to improve capital availability must recognize this variety of needs.
A full summary of the meeting is available here and video is on the left. There were also two PowerPoint presentations that can be found here.
