SUMMARY:Capital Growth Session III: Understanding Series Funding
DESCRIPTION:Capital access and growth are long-standing pain points of minority-owned businesses across the nation and in the Greater New Orleans (GNO) region.  Minority-owned businesses\, consequentially\, have been disproportionately affected during the current economic downturn. As such\, Greater New Orleans\, Inc. (GNO\, Inc.) and the Urban League of Louisiana (ULLA) are hosting a series of virtual discussions to dissect opportunities for minority-owned small businesses to increase their ability to access capital and to create viable\, sustainable ventures that create generational wealth. \nFor high growth ventures to successfully launch and scale\, oftentimes\, results lie in the ability of these firms to engage in multiple efforts to raise capital through rounds of external funding. However\, many minority entrepreneurs of color are not aware of how series funding works and how it can becomes a potential funding source for their businesses. For those that are aware\, lack of education\, fear of the unknown\, and being equity averse to external partners makes even exploring series funding a challenge. \nDuring this webinar\, small businesses will gain insights from equity investment firms on the types of businesses they seek for investment\, the funding process\, and the expected outcomes. This session will serve to dispel the many myths that exist around series funding and provide guidance on the feasibility of this funding mechanism for your venture. \n  \nThere is no cost to attend this session\, but registration is required\, so register today!

SUMMARY:LADOTD: Developing a Winning Proposal + Construction Management at Risk + DBE Certification
DESCRIPTION:Construction firms understand that hard work has to happen before a single shovel ever hits the ground during the continuous construction-bid-proposal process. Submitting effective proposals and winning bids is at the heart of what contractors do\, and developing this as a core competency is critical to building a profitable and sustainable business. \n\nFor general contractors\, a bid-to-win rate of one out of six is standard\, and many see less of a conversion rate. During this session\, contractors will learn best practices for developing a competitive proposal\, including: positioning the firm to move quickly on submitting bid proposals\, creating a winning scope sheet\, developing and offering a value proposition\, and putting your plans into action. In addition\, participants will gain an understanding of the Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) delivery method\, which entails a commitment by the Construction Manager (CM) to deliver the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)\, which is based on the construction documents and specifications at the time of the GMP. This session will also include an overview of the LAUCP DBE Certification\, including eligibility requirements and the application process. \n\nThere is no cost to attend this session\, but registration is required\, so register today!
