FUNDING RESOURCES

Does your business need capital to grow? Here is a list of resources and places to get some visibility - or banks to look into lending options.

If you don’t have a deck and financial model - those are your first steps. Contact the HV Venture Hub to be directed to assistance.

Invest NY

Get visibility on your fundraise with Invest NY, a data platform mapping the innovation and investment ecosystem across Upstate New York with intelligence on startups, innovation, and curated analyses. The Invest NY platform is free for everyone to access Upstate NY information. Founders should create a free username and “announce they are fundraising”.
