Santa Monica College SBDC at Bundy Campus
3171 S Bundy Drive, Room 121
Los Angeles, CA 90066
Thursday, March 21, 2013, 7:30 – 10am

Financing is a key cornerstone to the success of a small business. During our March breakfast series, our speakers will be discussing some of the issues raised in a recent NY Times article about the status of the new crowdfunding law and its implementation.
  • Where could a young company with less than a million dollars in sales go for money to grow?
  • How to leverage the success of crowd-funding sources like CircleUp for your small business?
  • When to tap into angel investors for best results?


This event is the next in the Small Business Breakfast Series (SBBS) coordinated by Pepperdine's Graziadio Alumni Network of Los Angeles in conjunction with Entrepreneur’s Journey and Small Business Development Center. These events provide updated and relevant information to the small business owner, manager, or entrepreneur in an interactive setting.
 
Each event is open to the public and will include appetizers or other refreshments. For more information on the Small Business Breakfast Series, other aspects of the Graziadio Alumni Network's small business outreach, or how you can get involved, please contact the Office of Alumni Relations at gsbmalumni@pepperdine.edu.
