Understanding Regional Investment Funds [Video]

At SCAPE we get asked a lot about our investment funds, and we get it, this stuff is confusing! It’s so important to be aware of how venture capital fits within a funding strategy for a growing company. Join us and our friends at the Greater Colorado Venture Fund as we dive into this very topic to add some understanding on the regional investment fund landscape.

Hear from SCAPE Executive Director, Elizabeth Marsh, and Greater Colorado Venture Fund Partner, Cory Finney, as they discuss the ins and outs of how investment funds work. Learn what is expected for investor returns, how venture capital is different from traditional capital, what to expect when raising funds, why traction and market size matter, and ultimately how to know if your company is the right fit for investment. Buckle in, this is a great watch to really get a handle on how these two incredible rural investment funds operate - straight from the experts managing the funds!
