NEW YORK, New York, June 3rd, 2013 – Athena Business Institute announces the launch of its virtual Women’s Business Funding summit taking place online July 15th – 26th, 2013. This funding summit is the first of its kind and it is free for women to attend.
Founder Serena Walker says “The funding summit is focused on helping women understand the different types of business funding available ranging from traditional, to nontraditional, to sources most women have never heard of before”. A variety of experts will be interviewed and women will have an opportunity to ask their questions live. The main question answered during the funding summit is “What happens if I don’t qualify for traditional funding, or what happens if I don’t qualify for enough funding?”.
Some of the experts being interviewed include: Stacey Ferriera from My Social Cloud who will talk about how a tweet helped her obtain funding from Richard Branson, Keeley Tillotson and Erica Welsh from Wild Friends Foods who will talk about how they used the show Shark Tank to obtain more than just funding, Natalia Oberti Noguera from Pipeline Fellowship who trains women investors and who will who will give an insider perspective on what investors look for in a business, and Candace Klein from SoMoLend who has been instrumental in legislation around the JOBS Act.
During the funding summit over $3,000 in prizes will be given away in a raffle drawing and everyone who registers will be entered to win. Prizes include: a ticket to the “Crowdfund with Ease” online training hosted by Patty Lennon from Mom Gets a Life, a ticket to the “Truth or Dare” live event hosted by Carolyn Herfurth from The BizTruth, a Business Idea Feasibility Session with Adrienne Graham from EmpowerMe!, access to the CrowdBuilder PR platform from Joy Schoffler, a strategy session with Alan Brody from iBreakfast plus a ticket to one of his live events and a copy of his book “Are You Fundable?”, and a 6 month membership to Sarah’s Success Secrets Community hosted by Sarah Shaw of Entreprenette.
