What the Fund? A Funding Panel

Looking for funding for your small business but not sure where to start? With so many options available, navigating the funding landscape can feel confusing—and a little intimidating. What the Fund? is designed to break it all down in a clear, approachable way.

Hosted by the Colorado SBDC serving Larimer County, this interactive panel brings together representatives from micro-lenders, commercial banks, and credit unions to help demystify the different funding paths available to small businesses. Panelists will kick things off with brief overviews of their funding sources, followed by guided discussion around common questions, misconceptions, and what lenders are really looking for.

The conversation doesn’t stop there. After the panel discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with the panelists—ask questions, explore options, and gain clarity on which funding source may be the best fit for their business goals.

This session is ideal for business owners who want real answers, practical guidance, and confidence as they explore funding opportunities.

Perfect for:

Small business owners exploring funding for the first time
Entrepreneurs unsure which funding source fits their needs
Founders seeking clarity on loans, lending expectations, and next steps
Come curious, ask the questions you’ve been holding back—and leave with a clearer path forward.
