About this Event

Looking to fund your next stage of growth? Join us for our Access to Capital event, an opportunity for entrepreneurs to connect directly with banks, microlenders, and alternative funders to explore financing options for their business.

This event is designed for seasoned business owners who are ready to scale and want to understand what it takes to qualify for funding, strengthen their financial documents, and build relationships with lenders who actively support small businesses in NYC.



What You’ll Walk Away With
  • Direct connections to lenders who are actively lending to small businesses
  • Clarity on which funding option best fits your business stage
  • Actionable feedback on your financial readiness and loan application
  • Confidence to move forward toward financing with the right partner


This year, we are intentionally expanding the funding pathways represented. In addition to traditional lending options, we are inviting alternative and community-based funding platforms to participate so entrepreneurs can better understand all viable capital options, from SBA loans and lines of credit to digital fundraising and nontraditional financing strategies.

If funding is on your radar within the next year, this is a room you’ll want to be in.


This event is supported by grants from Empire State Development.
