This event is presented by: The Ottawa Network and OCRI Global Marketing

In partnership with the Ottawa technology clusters this joint cluster event will focus on the many companies that are not necessarily on the VC track.  This session will feature a panel of experts that will discuss alternative financing and the realities of securing this funding.  This focus will be on early stage financing, and how to build your business.  It is designed to be a frank discussion and reality check.  It takes more than a good idea to grow a business, it takes sound business practices and expertise.
