Biotech startups: The government has a message for you–funds.

Sponsored by MichBio and Asterand

Are you starting a biotech company? Have you applied for federal appropriations to fund your great idea but gotten lost in a maze of bureaucracy?

Let Jon Kozesky, government affairs expert from G2G Consulting, guide you through the process at TechTown’s First Friday networking event on September 10 from 4 to 6 p.m.! He’ll share key factors for success when pursuing a federal appropriation, a timeline, plus tips on discretionary funding and the importance of government advocacy to today’s small business.

*Please note that the September First Friday will be held on the 10th, the second Friday, because of the Labor Day holiday.

For years, First Fridays at TechTown have been a gathering place for doers and thinkers in Detroit. The event has become a networking hub for hundreds of entrepreneurs, mentors and innovators.

A $5 donation is encouraged to help offset event costs. Donations will be accepted at the door.
