ABOUT MICHAEL BAISDEN: 

Michael Baisden is undeniably one of the most influential and engaging personalities in radio history. His meteoric rise to #1 is redefining radio with the show is syndicated and is heard in over 78 US markets with over 8 million loyal listeners daily. His career began when he took a leap of faith to leave his job driving trains in Chicago to self-publish his book and began touring the country selling books out of the trunk of his car. Through the power of his sheer determination Michael carved a unique niche as a speaker, radio personality, and social activist. He is always in the lead when it comes to helping those who don’t have a voice. “I’m not one for just talking, either do something or get out of the way!”

About the event:

Inspired by television shows such as Dragon's Den and Shark Tank, this event will feature successful individuals and business people who determine if a few entrepreneurs have ideas that they would like to invest in and it will also focus on different sources of capital, such as traditional and non-traditional Financial Institutions, and Angel Networks, for a promising venture in need of financial support. Do you have what investors are looking for? Find out as this panel talks about investment opportunities they’d like to see—what works and what doesn’t. Learn what steps you can take to tap into various sources of capital that’s potentially available, and if you’re lucky, pitch your idea to the potential investors. 

If you have a big idea that you'd like to get funded, please email gybif@firstfridays.ca

**Admission is $15 before 7:30pm, $20 after ($5 off for Students)
