Straight talk on the most powerful — and misunderstood — tool in small business funding.
About this Event

Securing capital is one of the most intimidating parts of starting, buying, or growing a business. And for many entrepreneurs, SBA loans are the best-kept secret — powerful, flexible, and often misunderstood.

This candid fireside chat brings together experts who work with SBA financing every day. Whether you’re exploring your first loan or scaling through acquisition, they’ll help you cut through the noise and understand how the process really works.Moderated by Chase Murdock, this session will feature a panel of experienced voices from across the SBA landscape:

Our panel includes:

  • John Gygi — Experienced operator and SBA borrower
  • Matthias Smith — Serial entrepreneur and capital strategist
  • [Name TBA] — Veteran SBA loan officer

Together, they’ll unpack what it actually takes to access SBA funding — in plain language, with zero fluff.

We’ll cover:

  • When SBA financing is (and isn’t) the right tool
  • How to qualify — and what lenders are really looking for
  • Key terms, deal structures, and recent rule changes
  • What’s shifting under the current administration
  • The biggest myths and mistakes — and how to avoid them

Whether you're actively raising capital or simply want to be better informed, this is a rare opportunity to learn directly from insiders who’ve been through it — and help others do the same.
