About StartOut NYC's Access to Capital Series

Investor Pitching Workshop is the third of four events. Each one builds on the last, so register for the rest while you're here.

Getting into the room where capital happens isn't always easy for LGBTQ+ founders. Networks can feel closed, introductions are hard to come by, and it's rarely clear where to start. This series gives you access to experts and investors, a clear picture of your funding options, and hands-on help getting ready to raise and pitch.

Sign-up for all four

1. . Tuesday, October 20, 6 to 8 PM, at the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center. The groundwork for everything that follows. Register now.
2. . Wednesday, November 4, 6 to 8 PM, at First Citizens Innovation Bank (formerly Silicon Valley Bank). Loans, credit, revenue-based financing and grants: how each works, what it costs and which stage it suits. Register now.
3. Investor Pitching Workshop: Sharpen Your Pitch With Direct Feedback. This event. Work on your pitch and get direct feedback before you take it to investors.
4. Investor and Founder Matching: Pitch to Investors Ready to Invest. Wednesday, December 9th (5 to 8 PM). Invite-only, one-on-one time with investors matched to your business. Submit your founder application here.
