The Greater Des Moines Partnership will hold a one-day Raising Capital for Startups seminar on Dec. 3 in Des Moines. Among the topics covered will be the process of raising capital, the financial model and capitalization tables. “When it comes to securing funds, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution — it’s a process with multiple pathways,” Diana Wright, the Partnership’s startup community builder, said in a prepared statement. “We’re here to help participants understand their options and learn more about equity financing as one of those pathways.” The Partnership will offer a bonus option for entrepreneurs and businesses to receive a free one-hour SWOT analysis of their business as they prepare for funding from a panel of startup experts. The event will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Partnership’s office at 700 Locust St. Registration is open now and capped at 40 participants.
