Accessing Capital Score KC Event

Join Kelly Sievers, Managing Director of Women’s Capital Connection and Brande Stitt. Program Director for the Women’s Business Center, as they walk us through where entrepreneurs get their money in Kansas City. Learn what types of businesses are launched in KC, and how they were funded.

You will learn to ask yourself these important questions:

How much money do I need?
What type of business do I have?
What type of capital is most appropriate?

You will learn how to prepare to raise debt (borrow money) or equity capital (give up a share of your business.)

She has purchased, grown and sold four different retail businesses, including Scandia Down on the Country Club Plaza.
