Free broadcast Friday

A free live broadcast of Barnes & Thornburg LLP's next New Economy New Rules seminar is scheduled from 7 to 8:30 a.m.  Friday at the Hammond INnovation Center, 5209 Hohman Ave., Hammond, and the Purdue Technology Center, 9800 Connecticut Drive, Merrillville.

During "Rise of the Micro–VCs, Accelerators & Other Seed–Stage Funding Trends," panelists will discuss changes and trends in our funding ecosystem, and how entrepreneurs can leverage knowledge of these developments to achieve their own seed–stage funding goals. This is the first in a three-part series on funding.
