About this Event
We're bringing together seasoned investors and ecosystem builders who've been close to these programs for a candid, grounded discussion on the state of government capital.
Expect real perspectives, hard-earned lessons, and honest takes on what a more effective funding landscape could look like going forward.
Walk away with a sharper lens on how government capital fits (or doesn't) into the startup journey, and what the ecosystem could realistically push for.
Hear from:
Derrick Hunter, President & CEO at Bluesky Equities
Michelle Scarborough, Former Managing Partner of Thrive Venture Fund at BDC
Moderated by: Philippe Burns, Co-Founder, Tech Thursday
