Nine presenters join host and SBDC director, Kelly Bearden in a "reverse shark tank" format where lenders and assistance providers detail loans, investment capital and grants. Topics include SBA and traditional small business loan programs up to $10 million, micro business loans that start at $10,000, investment and capital-based programs such as venture capital, crowdfunding, and more.

Co-sponsored by the Small Business Development Center at CSU Bakersfield, Mono County Economic Development, and the Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce, the summit was held at the Westin Monache Resort in Mammoth Lakes.
