Ready to fuel your business growth? Whether you’re looking to scale, refinance, or just start a conversation with the right financial partner, Capital Connections: Lender Matchmaking Event is your curated gateway to the funding world.
This isn’t your typical networking mixer. We’ve designed a high-energy, high-impact afternoon specifically for you to get face-to-face with the people who hold the keys to capital.

How It Works
We’ve split the day into two strategic phases to maximize your time:

• 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM | Lender Speed-Dating: Quick, "lightning round" sessions to meet a diverse range of lenders. You'll get a feel for their products, their personality, and their appetite for your industry. Lunch will also be provided during a break.
• 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM | The Deep Dive: Found a match? Use this block for dedicated 1-on-1 appointments with the lenders you connected with during the morning session to discuss your specific needs in detail.

Who’s in the Room?
We’re bringing a full spectrum of financial powerhouses to the table, including:

• Big Banks for traditional commercial lending.
• Community Banks for that localized, relationship-driven touch.
• CDFIs (Community Development Financial Institutions) for mission-driven flexible capital.
• Small Business Resources to help you get "loan-ready."

Note: To keep the environment intimate and ensure everyone gets quality time with lenders, space is strictly capped at 35 participants.
Don't miss this chance to turn a "maybe" into a "funded." Secure your spot and start building the relationships that will define your business’s next chapter.
