Finding reliable funding can oftentimes be the most difficult aspect of starting a new business – not to mention taking that business from a fledgling idea to a thriving, successful enterprise. The Funding for Businesses panel is a discussion between state officials and notable venture capitalists who will touch on such valuable topics as what resources are available at both state and private levels, how to find funding for a new business and the experiences each needed to traverse and arrive at the positions they hold today.

Panelists include Joshua Baer (Moderator, Capital Factory); Adriana Cruz (Office of the Governor, Economic Development and Tourism); Jan Ryan (University of Texas at Austin); Preston L. James, II (DivInc)
