Funding your idea is hard to do, especially if you are in one of the STEM fields and your concept has never been done before. How do you fund your idea then? In this edition of the CSUF Entrepreneurship Insider you will find an event we are hosting this Wednesday that will answer your questions.

As I reviewed the submissions from our CSUF Startup Competition I was pleasantly surprised to see a good number of the concepts were in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). There are so many emergent opportunities in those fields and I know that our students are up for the challenge. Part of that challenge is funding. And that isn’t a small challenge either, especially when you are working in a field where you will probably need a decent amount of research and development before you even launch. That’s one of the reasons why we’re very happy to have an expert in the STEM funding field in to speak at the CSUF Startup Incubator in Placentia this Wednesday. Jim Cooper, said expert, will give the talk Funding Moonshots this Wednesday at 6pm. In this talk, Jim will cover the funding options available to STEM entrepreneurs and how they can effectively raise funds for their groundbreaking concepts. We hope to see you there! Sincerely,
John Bradley Jackson
