Typical CAT Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Business owners complete the new client inquiry<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. New clients to the SBDC register online for confidential business <\/a><\/span>advising\u00a0with local SBDC.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. CAT hosts initial client phone conversation and determine next steps. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Clients work to get funding ready (see\u00a0<\/span>funding readiness requirements<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  5. Clients without experience raising capital may enroll in the CAT training program<\/a> to accelerate their trajectory and expand their knowledge of different funding options.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Clients work with CAT to explore the <\/span>capital landscape <\/a>and develop a finance strategy.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. CAT Advisors review client funding packages, provide feedback and suggest additions.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. CAT Advisors can also provide pitch coaching, funder strategy and connections.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    NOTE: We have fine-tuned our process for optimal results.\u00a0About 35% of clients we talk to complete this process.\u00a0The ones that do have about a 75% chance of getting funded.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    About Our Team<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The Oregon SBDC Network\u2019s Capital Access Team (CAT) is led by highly specialized SBDC advisors<\/a><\/span> who engage clients via face-to-face and virtual advising (Phone, videoconferencing and e-mail). The CAT also provides access to education programs via <\/span>online training<\/span><\/a><\/span> and <\/span>public workshops <\/span><\/a>across the state for learning about the capital landscape and accessing capital.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The CAT works with clients referred to it by SBDCs, funders and <\/span>community partners<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    All advising is confidential, and each client is managed collaboratively with the <\/span>local SBDC Advisor<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
