Thinking of applying for the Innovation Fund? Join us for a free Innovation Fund 101 where we explain the ins-and-outs of our application process.

You’ll learn:

• how to apply and who’s eligible
• how you can use the money
• things to know before you fill out an application
• what to expect if you win

You’ll also hear from one of the Innovation Fund’s recent award winners, Daniel Kurt of Revenue Conduit. Daniel’s company won the $100,000 B award in November 2015. He’ll share his experience going through the application process, how he used the funding to raise more money (his company just received $250,000 from JumpStart) and what advice he’d give entrepreneurs applying today.

Enjoy some light refreshments while you learn and then take a tour of the Akron Global Business Accelerator.
