• What do you need to know to invest in women
• Discussion of Pure Energy (and any others brought by the group)
• Opportunities for future WIN investment activity
• Feedback and Next Steps

  Description: The morning is designed to give women a chance to listen to an entrepreneur’s story and an investor’s story then participate in facilitated discussion on what they want to learn/need to know in order to move toward investing in women themselves. It is meant to be a safe and comfortable place to ask questions, get clarification, etc. so we will ask anyone who is currently seeking capital (i.e. Dawn and any other entrepreneurs) and/or is a service provider looking for potential clients to please leave before we move into the discussion segment of the meeting.
