Finding the right funding is one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face, whether you’re a startup chasing rapid growth or a small business looking to expand. Join us for an i4Series panel discussion where local experts will share practical strategies, insider perspectives, and real-world stories to help you navigate today’s funding landscape. Learn about traditional financing options like SBA loans and lines of credit, how angel investors and venture capitalists evaluate opportunities, state programs, grants, and non-dilutive funding options available in South Carolina, and lessons from Greenville founders who’ve successfully raised capital. Our moderator is Tony Nolte, an attorney at the Kim, Lahey & Killough Law Firm who advises growth companies on structure, capital, and compliance. Panelists include: Dave Parker, 6X Founder with over 40 years of experience in AI, innovation, and startup funding; Shay Houser, serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and co-founder of Founderville.vc who has helped raise and generate over $1 billion in capital formation; and William Taylor, an active angel investor who supports early-stage startups through Launchpad GVL, which he co-founded.
