It doesn’t — and limiting your search to local investors is one of the fastest ways to leave capital on the table. \nBuilding Our Tech and Starter Studio are teaming up to bring founders a practical\, no-fluff session on raising capital from investors outside your immediate network — where to find them\, how to reach them\, and what actually gets a meeting on the calendar. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nPractical ways to identify and attract outside investors\nHow to target investors by stage and thesis\nWhere warm introductions really happen\nHow to build a repeatable outreach process\nWhich pre-seed signals matter most\n\nSpeakers \nJehue Francois\, Startup Program Director for Building Our TechJehue Francois is the Startup Program Director at Building Our Tech (BOT). He works with founders\, startups\, and community partners to build pathways into entrepreneurship through emerging technology\, strategic partnerships\, and innovation. As a founder himself\, Jehue is passionate about connecting entrepreneurs with the resources\, relationships\, and opportunities they need to grow sustainable businesses. \nSpencer ElliottExperienced CEO/Startup Founder\, Investor\, Mentor\, UCF + UF Business Graduate\, Florida Man\, and Family Man!

I am responsible for identifying high-potential opportunities\, structuring tailored capital strategies\, and guiding businesses through investment\, scaling\, and execution. \nJoin us at Credo Conduit for an evening of direct\, actionable insight from people who’ve actually raised and deployed capital.
