TESTIMONIAL

“I took part in the FCI Fundraising and Pitching Module while in the thick of fundraising for my business. It was an excellent overview of different funding sources that helped us hone our strategy, but most importantly it gave me a huge confidence boost when it came to shepherding potential investors through the fundraising process and sharing my vision for the business with larger audiences.” – Sam Gilbert, Temescal Brewing
