Join us at our monthly main meeting! This month we are bringing in an incredible local attorney whose focus is on raising capital for her clients. At this meeting you can network, ask for referrals, discuss and analyze deals and contracts, learn about the current market, or ask for help. We have great interaction at these meetings with real people talking about real deals.

The Main Meetings are usually held the 2nd Tuesday of every month. Topics vary each month from general, deal-making discussions - to presentations on various topics such as legal topics and how to get funded! These meetings generally include:

• Networking (Please note: Zoom Attendees should tune in at around 6:00 PM)
• Introductions 
• Topic  Raising Capital!  - When does it become a Securities Issue?
• Q&A or General Discussion 
• Networking
  

In our September 2026 meeting, we will do informal round table introductions including updates on whatever deals people are working on or have recently finished.  

Then we will buckle up to learn about raising money!
