During the free virtual Women’s Business Funding Summit Athena Business Institute founder Serena Walker will interview experts who will share their funding insights and secrets.

Some of the other questions answered include: If I don't qualify for a traditional loan, what are my options?, How do I determine the correct amount of money to ask for?, What is crowdfunding and how can it work for my business?, How can I use contests and competitions to fund my business?, What are some of the lesser known forms of funding?, and What do different types of investors look for and how can I find them?
