Weeks 7-8: Summer Venture Program 2018
夏季风险计划10年庆祝活动
与7月4日假期，Summer Venture Program (SVP)从编程中休息一下，以便团队可以深入了解他们的业务，并为剩下的计划充电。我们正式在家里伸展！
Per usual, we began week 8 with some lunch and team updates. During this time, our startups shared their key accomplishment of the past two weeks. They have made incredible progress since the beginning of the program, and it really showed during our team updates.
Fundraising 101 with David Chang
遵循这些更新和美味的午餐鸡肉和米饭(a Babson alum company), David Chang held a session about raising a seed round of funding. This was a smaller workshop for founders to share their investor target lists and pitch tips with one another. Collaborating in these smaller group settings seems to be the most productive environment for our entrepreneurs. Continuing with the fundraising theme, Jackson Stone from Netcapital hosted a workshop on equity crowdfunding. Through this, many of our startups gained insight on various regulations/laws and what those mean for entrepreneurs today. Jackson also gave our founders some advice for creating a strong fundraising campaign, navigating a funding portal, and running a successful online round.
To end the day off, SVP celebrated its 10-year anniversary with a rooftop party at the Babson Boston campus. Past SVP alumni, current participants, and supporters of the program all gathered together for some light snacks and drinks in commemorating this moment. Some of our notable alum who spoke were清洁（2016年SVP），Thero (2017 SVP),认为董事会（2016年SVP），magn（2017年SVP），和waku.（2017）。在SVP内建立的网络和社区是无与伦比的，在我们的庆祝过程中真正闪耀。

Salimata Bangoura then took the floor in pitching her business,Nanny A La Carte。在富有成效的重建会议期间，格鲁吉亚加布里埃拉（点燃), Maya Mutalik (希望缝制), Sarveshwaran Jayaraman and Neal Wagner (WAEC.）在完善她的个人故事和钩子时与Sali一起工作。
