Funding Your Business 

Find out about diverse opportunities for funding and what you need to create: a business plan, a feasibility study or something else to compete for capital. Join Jack in a discussion about the funding landscape and what it means to raise funding in Michigan. From crowdfunding to traditional venture capital funding, it is important to know the basics.  Guest Speaker, Jack Miner currently, focuses on business formation around physical sciences intellectual property for the tech transfer office at the University of Michigan.  Prior to joining U of M, he worked for 7 venture-backed software companies (most of which exited through acquisition) as well as Fortune 100 information technology organizations, CA and Amdahl.  Most recently, Jack has been engaged in new business formation through bcVentures, Michigan Aerospace Corporation and TechTown, spending the last 2 years focused on capital attraction for over 200 portfolio companies.
