In Partnership With
Closing Reception by FIN Capital
|
Help us celebrate the three-year anniversary of FIN Capital with a reception in conjunction with the ACA’s Midwest Regional meeting being held in Des Moines. Limited tickets are available on a first come, first served basis.
FIN Capital came to fruition in 2015 when The Iowa Center was approached by Governor Kim Reynolds and IEDA Director Debi Durham to create an all-women angel investment network in Iowa. The program’s goal is to grow women’s wealth through private angel investing. At Iowa Center for Economic Success, our mission is to empower Iowans with the potential to succeed as they pursue opportunities for financial success. We do this through our four programs, the Iowa Women’s Business Center (WBC), Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), Microlending, and FIN Capital. Learn more about FIN Capital here. |
