Event Summary

Most business owners know they need capital but are unsure where to get it or which funding option is right for their business. This Lunch & Learn is designed to replace confusion with clarity and provide a practical funding roadmap.

Join Cathy Trinh, Business Professor, CEO of Trinh Consulting Group, and immigrant entrepreneur, as she breaks down how business funding actually works in the real world. With experience helping more than 350 entrepreneurs secure over $27 million in capital, Cathy will walk you through the three core funding paths every business owner should understand: self-funding, angel investors, and SBA loans.

You’ll learn how to determine how much capital you truly need, how to position your business to be fundable, and how to choose the funding option that aligns with your current stage and long-term goals. This session focuses on real strategy, not theory—so you leave with clarity and confidence.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsorships are available for businesses looking to gain visibility with growth-minded entrepreneurs. Sponsors receive social media promotion, a short spotlight opportunity, space for marketing materials, door prize recognition, and access to the attendee list.

Attendees and sponsors are welcome to bring a door prize to elevate engagement and increase brand exposure.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start building a funding strategy that makes sense, this session is for you. Seats are limited—register early.
