Funding Warm-Up

Immediately following the "Entrepreneurial Resources" session, hear from Tech Cocktail, Fortify.vc & the Washington Business Journal on their own research and perspectives around early stage investment and insights into the state of launching ventures in the DC region and beyond -- followed by the "Getting Funded" panel at 2pm.  There will be some time for "open mic" - so get ready to share in a rapid fire open mic format who you are, what you're working on, and how much funding you're looking for (if any).
