Welcome to the Business Record’s Innovation Update, a new feature where we check in on the work in central Iowa supporting the startup and small business environment.

I’m Kate Hayden, technology, innovation & entrepreneurship reporter for the Business Record. This week I speak with Mike Colwell, executive director of entrepreneurial initiatives at the Greater Des Moines Partnership, about transitioning the Raising Capital Seminar Series to meet entrepreneurs where they are -- virtually. Hosted twice a year by the Partnership, LWBJ and BrownWinick Law, this fall’s session runs from Oct. 7-Oct. 28. Check in to hear Mike and I talk about fundraising during a pandemic, and what business mentors can do to support entrepreneurs during this time.
