The University Club of Montreal in collaboration with Founder WorkRoom presents Facing the Dragons featuring Robert Simoneau. You got the products/services running, but money is still tight. What do you do? Look for financing. Banking institutions are not generous enough - and oh, the interest rate! Acquiring grants is very competitive. It is time-consuming: research and preparation. Fundraising initiatives require serious investment in itself to cover cost. Plus, it is risky . And there is the option of talking to the right people about your business - The Dragons!
