 Event Description

Are you looking for supportive capital to scale your business? Are you ready to take the next steps in growing your team or developing new markets, but don’t have the cash to do so?

Great news – grants can fill this gap! Learn from Pocketed’s Partnership Program Manager, Ben Walter, how to leverage grant funding in your business to achieve your hiring, research and development, market expansion, hiring and training objectives. Not all tools are created equal, and Ben will show you how to expedite the grant search and application process and increase your chances of funding success using platforms that bring an outdated industry into modern times.
