About this Event

Welcome to Proof & Profit: Capital Readiness Summit!

Proof & Profit is a national capital readiness summit for revenue-generating founders, financial institutions, and ecosystem leaders. Hosted by Bisi Books®, the event focuses on one critical issue: many companies have revenue, but not the financial structure or proof institutions need to evaluate them for capital. Through main stage conversations, practical breakout sessions, and cross-sector networking, the summit is designed to move attendees from activity to readiness to capital.


Agenda

🕑: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
The Capital Readiness Gap: Why Revenue Alone Doesn’t Unlock Capital
Host: Shayne Evans

Info: This recorded main stage conversation will examine why many revenue-generating companies still struggle to access capital. The discussion will explore the difference between business activity and capital readiness, including the financial structure, documentation, and operating discipline institutions look for when evaluating companies for funding.


🕑: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
What Capital Providers Need to Say Yes: Real-Time Deal Flow
Host: Letandre Stenneth

Info: This recorded main stage conversation will focus on what capital providers actually need to see before saying yes to funding. The discussion will examine underwriting signals, documentation, and readiness factors for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, with particular attention to how opportunities are assessed in real time and where companies or organizations most often break down before approval.


🕑: 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
From Home-Based to Brick-and-Mortar: Does Location Really Matter?
Host: Moses Hall

Info: This recorded main stage conversation will examine a key inflection point for growing companies: when investing in commercial space strengthens the company, and when it creates unnecessary strain. The discussion will explore how institutions assess the relationship between location, operating stability, and readiness for capital, with particular attention to construction and trades companies that often require space, equipment, working capital, and operational systems at the same time.
