FORUM: Growing Businesses in an Economic Downturn
In honor of National Entrepreneurship Week, MultiFunding will host a panel discussion with growing businesses this Friday,
February 19th at noon EST.
The media and policy attention these days are understandably focused on trying to help struggling businesses survive the Pandemic, yet some companies are growing, hiring, and expanding right through the Pandemic. Who are these businesses, what are their stories, and what challenges are they facing?
In this forum we will hear from e-commerce companies, IT support companies, marketing companies, and others whose businesses have been growing. They will talk about the unique challenges they have been facing as they try to keep up with growth in an economic downturn.

About the Event
The panel represents a diverse group of industries that have been flourishing in the economic downturn. They will talk about their unique challenges as they try to keep up with their unexpected growth, from hiring to supply chain issues.
We need to think about and understand the needs and issues surrounding growing businesses, because they contribute significantly to economic growth and unemployment.
The discussion will focus on:
- Are these growing businesses able to find the employees they need?
- Are they getting the mentoring and support they need?
- Are they able to access capital and get the liquidity they need to grow and hire?
Business owners, entrepreneurs, associations, and press are are all welcome and invited to listen to the session on Friday, February 19th from 12 – 1 PM EST.
