SSBCI at SSTI Annual Conference

November 21, 2024

SSTI will continue the conversation about the SSBCI program at the Annual Conference. SSBCI director, Jeff Stout, will provide an update on the program in The latest on Treasury’s $10 billion investment in small businesses. The session will provide insights into Treasury's current thinking and to better understand how SSBCI might be better leveraged as a regional resource. SSBCI outreach team member Karl Fooks will moderate the session, How regions are adapting to trends in equity investment. This session will highlight how other states have been adapting to swings in private venture capital markets from all-time highs to mediocre activity, which, for many states, occurred just as they were rolling out their approaches to the SSBCI program. We’ll also discuss the implications of this volatility for designing future capital access initiatives.  Finally, SSBCI representatives will present as part of the Federal Funding Forum.
