TO BE RESCHEDULED
Dear Peoria-Area Investor or Innovator,
We’re incredibly excited to host a team from Illinois INVENT at Peoria NEXT on TO BE RESCHEDULED. The Illinois Innovation Venture Fund (INVENT) is a $114 million direct equity capital program funded through the U.S. Department of the Treasury State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) and administered by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO).
Join us to learn more how Illinois INVENT can directly invest $10,000 to $6 million in local Central Illinois startups. Illinois INVENT requires private financing in the startup. In other words, we need YOU to invest in YOUR community, so that more of the State fund’s $114 million is invested in OUR community (and not just Chicago)😉.
