“As a company currently going through an active funding round, participating in the Seminar has proved to be absolutely instrumental. The curriculum was comprehensive and the speakers were actual practitioners with tremendous collective deal experience. It's rare that as an entrepreneur you get an opportunity to ask all of your fundraising questions to such a diverse group of experts in one sitting.”

"Learning from investors, legal experts and other DSM entrepreneurs was a tremendous help as we started our company in 2015. Now, having successfully raised investment in each of the last three years, I would recommend the Raising Capital Seminar for any entrepreneur preparing to raise capital. The Seminar provides a great foundation for learning the ins-and-outs of fundraising for your business."

The entrepreneurial advisement from experienced legal and accounting professionals was also extremely helpful. I recommend this event for both seasoned and emerging entrepreneurs.”
