@Yvonne, got it!

I appreciate the interest @Vanessa!

what is the application deadline?

I believe June 26th @monica

For clarity, businesses that are pre- money do not qualify? I am beginning e-commerce sales on Target.com, Amazon.com, BuyBuyBaby.com and BedBathBeyond.com next month. As well, I have a patent on my product. Should I still apply?

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/H5JOvFIggvY

Can I receive a recording for this webinar?

It will be a blessing!!

Great answer. It takes products to make the the service industry work.

We at Hawkeye Seasons we have been opened fully for 2 years but we don't have a store front. We ship worldwide, sell online and are in a few store shelves. Do we have to have a brick and mortar?

is there a sound problem? I can't hear anyone now.

I'm trying to start a Black woman owned Life Sciences company, very few of us around. If you have no tech, nobody wants you. I can't get any help...health and wellness ...

What are the minimum qualifications?

Angelique I can hear them.

Absolutely. You all have great resources.

If you have received a grant of some kind before does that disqualify you?
