WASHINGTON, DC – Springboard Enterprises, in collaboration with The Lester Center for entrepreneurship & Innovation at UC Berkeley and The Women's Technology Cluster, will co-host a Growth Capital Workshop at the Haas School of Business on June 17, 2003. Springboard, well known for its successful women’s venture forum program, is returning to the Bay area to resume programming targeted at women-led emerging entrepreneurial ventures.

The workshop features prominent women entrepreneurs, active investors and service providers offering advice and counsel on successful strategies to position a company for growth and attract the right capital sources. The one-day workshop wraps up with a select group of entrepreneurs ‘fast pitching’ their businesses to a panel of investors.
