Startup Drinks - Regina
This event is open to all those infused with the entrepreneurial spirit, whether your start-up is in the planning stages, ready to be financed, or simply a napkin sketched idea. This will be a monthly event, set in a casual atmosphere, where you can share your war stories of victory, defeat, and plans for the future. I look forward to a good turn out and feel free to pass this along–we’re always happy to have more folks who share the passion for taking an idea from seed to market!

Seminar 2: Raising Private Equity
Nick Dalrymple, Investment Analyst, Entrepreneurial Foundation of Saskatchewan
This seminar will help you to determine if you and your business are ready to approach a private equity investor, and help you understand what process you will have to go through to successfully raise outside investment. Private equity investors are not only difficult to find, they are also very thorough in their due diligence and are always looking for ways to reduce the risk profile of an investment opportunity. You are not taking on a lender when raising private equity; you are taking on a business partner.
