#ICYMI - last week we held our Spring Capital Matchmaker and received a great recap in the Westfair Business Journals. Check it out: “It brings people together to meet lenders of all types at all echelons serving different businesses that you wouldn’t be able to see in one place at one time very easily,” Welk said. “It’s difficult to make your way around town and meet multiple lenders.” “With the 10-minute format they have you can learn enough about a small business to understand whether it’s a good match for the organization,” added Welk. https://lnkd.in/eCRvMgW5
