SUMMARY:Access to Capital
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about how to acquire funding\, such as grants\, debt/loans\, equity/investors\, and bootstrapping for your small business.\n\n\nAccess to capital refers to how difficult or simple it is for someone to obtain funds or resources for their business.

He is also the owner of a strategic business planning\, investment\, and consulting firm. He has had successful financial exits and is a member of a regional angel investor network. \nHolloran previously worked as the Senior Vice-President for Strategy\, Mergers\, and Acquisitions\, and General Manager for Day & Zimmermann\, a $2.2 billion industrial energy conglomerate. He was also a Vice-President for Strategic Planning and stockholder with The Atlantic Group\, a $300 million specialty contractor to the electric utility industry. He served as the Executive Director of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) for 11 years\, where he developed and implemented management assistance\, international\, and financial programs throughout the Hampton Roads region. \nHolloran has extensive experience in executive management\, growth and expansion\, operations\, mergers\, and acquisitions\, technology project management\, and raising debt and equity capital\, including private equity funding.

SUMMARY:Jefferson Lab Colloquia - Dan Jacobson
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The cost of generating biological data is dropping exponentially\, resulting in an explosion in the amount of data available for the biological sciences. This flood of data has opened a new era of systems biology in which there are unprecedented opportunities to gain insights into complex biological systems. Integrated biological models need to capture the higher order complexity of the interactions among cellular components. Solving such complex combinatorial problems will give us extraordinary levels of understanding of biological systems. \nParadoxically\, understanding higher order sets of relationships among biological objects leads to a combinatorial explosion in the search space of biological data. These exponentially increasing volumes of data\, combined with the desire to model more and more sophisticated sets of relationships within a cell\, across an organism and up to ecosystems and\, in fact\, climatological scales\, have led to a need for computational resources and sophisticated algorithms that can make use of such datasets. The disease\, traits or phenotypes of an organism\, including its adaptation to its surrounding environment and the interactions with its microbiome\, are the result of orchestrated\, hierarchical\, heterogeneous collections of expressed genomic variants regulated by and related to biotic and abiotic signals. \nHowever\, the effects of these variants can be viewed as the result of historic selective pressure and current environmental as well as epigenetic interactions\, and\, as such\, their co-occurrence can be seen as omics-wide associations in a number of different manners. We have developed supercomputing and explainable-AI approaches to find complex mechanisms responsible for all measurable phenotypes as well as an organism’s ability to detect and modulate its microbiome. \nThe result is progress towards a comprehensive systems biology model of an organism and how it has adapted to and responds to its abiotic and biotic environment which has applications in bioenergy\, precision agriculture\, ecosystem studies\, precision medicine\, and pandemic prevention among other disciplines. \n\nBiography: Dan Jacobsons’s career as a computational systems biologist has included leadership roles in academic\, corporate\, NGO and national lab settings. His research focuses on understanding the complex sets of interactions of molecules of all types (across all omics layers) in cells that lead to phenotypes\, traits and disease states in organisms and how all of that is conditional on the surrounding environment.  Dan’s lab was the first group to perform an exascale calculation and holds the current record for the fastest calculation done in human history (9.4 Exaflops). \nFor his recent work Dan has been awarded the Secretary of Energy Honor Award: The Secretary of Energy’s Achievement Award; HPCWire Editor’s Choice Award for the Top HPC-enabled Scientific Achievement; the Gordon Bell Prize; Oak Ridge National Laboratory\, Director’s Award; Oak Ridge National Laboratory\, Outstanding Achievement Award; and a Joint Citation from the Department of Energy and the Department of Veteran Affairs. \nWednesday\, July 19\, 2023\n3:30-4 p.m. for refreshments – 4-5 p.m. for presentation\nCEBAF Center Auditorium\n \nZoom option is also available. \nZoom – Meeting ID: 160 478 1138 – Passcode: 653777

SUMMARY:Real Estate and your Small Business
DESCRIPTION:This session will address real estate decisions that will be a part of every growing business.\n\n\nThis session will address real estate decisions that will be a part of every growing business. Mostly this interactive presentation will be from the perspective of the tenant; what real estate decisions will not inhibit the entrepreneur’s goals. \nEvery small business owner will eventually face the issue of real estate. Even if starting at their house (or garage!)\, a business owner will likely have to move to an off-site location \nA business owner will be faced with questions like: \nShould I buy or lease? \nDo I look at Class A\, B\, or C office space\, or retail or industrial? \nWhat about zoning? \nWith internet sales\, do I have to worry about local demographics?” \nAn owner will also have to consider short term and long term business growth plan decisions. \nWhat happens with more than one location? \nWill there ever be a need for a warehouse? \nThis workshop will also cover leases and their pitfalls; full-service\, triple-net\, and CAM Fees. \n***Please also register for the event on SCORE’s website***: https://score.tfaforms.net/17?EventID=a105a000009oI2M

DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about how to acquire funding\, such as grants\, debt/loans\, equity/investors\, and bootstrapping for your small business.\n\n\nAccess to capital refers to how difficult or simple it is for someone to obtain funds or resources for their business. When starting or running a business\, most people want access to capital. Businesses in the United States have access to a variety of funding options. Obtaining funding for a business\, on the other hand\, can be difficult for anyone\, let alone a member of a group that has endured discrimination and bias for decades. \nThe NSU Innovation Center (NSUIC) and the Small Business Development Council (SBDC) will provide you with information and requirements for acquiring funding\, such as grants\, debt/loans\, equity/investors\, and bootstrapping. Additionally\, this Access to Capital program will include a non-bank SBA 504 financing program aimed at existing businesses. \n \nSpeaker Info:\nBill Holloran\nBill Holloran has over 44 years of experience in business and economic development.
