Access to capital and investors is one of the biggest issues entrepreneurs face in North Dakota, and Prairie Capital Summit aims to solve that problem. Prairie Capital Summit is an afternoon event taking place at Sanctuary Events Center on March 11th that will focus on bringing together investors, entrepreneurs, resource partners and students to connect and explore the capital side of entrepreneurship, with an emphasis on equity financing.
This summit features keynote and panel presentations, a showcasing of resources and educational tracks for both funders and entrepreneurs. Designed around the concept of creating an atmosphere for learning and connecting, this event will contain mainstage sessions, breakout sessions, networking breaks and a social hour.
