About this event

Women's Funding Summit

Capital is the lifeblood of any business, but especially small business. Without adequate financing, through microloans, commercial lending, or investment capital, most entrepreneurs cannot start new businesses or grow their existing companies. In 2022, women still have less access to funding and report lower financials than men.

Join US Commercial Service for this virtual summit to learn about the different types of financing and funding available to your business. You’ll hear directly from the lenders and investors who want to work with you and connect with other women who have successfully used their programs to start or grow their business.

Together we’ll get funded, go online and go global.
