SUMMARY:Women In Wealth
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/women-in-wealth-tickets-2000660707031?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n\n\nWOMEN IN WEALTH SERIES \nVenture Capital | Business Acquisition | AI Innovation\nWOMEN IN WEALTH SERIES \nTHE CAPITAL CONVERSATION \nBanking | Capital Access | Acquisition | Exit Strategy \nFeaturing Bank of America\nEvent Overview \nHow does capital actually move? \nFor the final seminar of Alpha Woman Association’s Women in Wealth Series\, we’re bringing banking\, business acquisition\, investment\, lending\, and exit strategy into one executive-level conversation. \nFeaturing representatives from Bank of America\, alongside M&A and investment expertise\, this seminar explores the financial infrastructure behind building\, buying\, growing\, and eventually exiting a business. \nBUILD • FUND • BUY • GROW • EXIT \nFrom preparing for financing to acquiring a company\, investing capital\, scaling an enterprise\, or planning an eventual exit\, understanding how money moves can change how you approach wealth. \nAnd one relationship is often overlooked: \n\nKnow your banker before you need your banker.\nWhat does a bank actually look for before lending?\nWhen should an entrepreneur begin building a banking relationship?\nHow can debt be used strategically to acquire or grow an asset?\nAnd as your business grows\, how should your banking and capital strategy grow with it?\n\nThis conversation takes attendees beyond simply making money and into understanding the relationships\, financial readiness\, and capital structures behind building long-term wealth. \nModerator\nShavée Ho\nFounder & Chair\, Alpha Woman Association\nShavée Ho leads Alpha Woman Association (AWA)\, a economic development nonprofit organization\, advancing women through education\, funding pathways\, and strategic partnerships. With over 15 years in branding\, marketing\, an education\, she builds platforms that connect leaders\, investors\, and institutions to drive measurable economic impact. \nThrough the Women in Wealth Series\, Shavée is helping make conversations around capital\, ownership\, investment\, and economic opportunity more accessible to women while creating direct proximity to the professionals and institutions operating within those ecosystems. \nFeatured Expert \nLenny Saizan\, MBA\nM&A Advisor | Venture Capital Fund ManagerManaging Director\, Urban Capital NetworkCEO\, Murphy Business – West Houston\nLenny Saizan advises business owners on growth\, acquisitions\, exits\, and reinvestment strategy. As founder of the Legacy Maximizer System™\, he integrates M&A advisory\, private investing\, and wealth structuring to help entrepreneurs maximize enterprise value and build generational wealth. \nFor The Capital Conversation\, Lenny brings the perspective of both sides of ownership: what it takes to acquire a business and what it takes to build one worth acquiring. \nHe’ll help connect acquisition strategy\, business valuation\, capital structure\, investor readiness\, and exit planning — including how decisions made while building a company can ultimately affect its value when it is time to sell. \nFeatured Financial Institution\nBANK OF AMERICA\nInside the Bank: What Happens Before the Yes? \nOne of the most valuable relationships an entrepreneur can build may begin long before they ever apply for a loan. \nRepresentatives from Bank of America will take attendees inside the banking side of the capital conversation — exploring what financial institutions consider when evaluating businesses\, borrowers\, growth opportunities\, and requests for capital. \nThe discussion will explore: \n• What makes a business bankable \n• What bankers evaluate before extending capital \n• Business loans\, lines of credit\, and financing options \n• Using financing in business acquisition and expansion \n• Financial preparation before seeking capital \n• Building a banking relationship before you need funding \n• How banking needs change as businesses and assets grow \n• The role of banking relationships throughout acquisition\, growth\, investment\, and exit \nThe goal is not simply to understand what financial products exist. \nIt is to better understand how to position yourself to use them strategically. \nBecause your first conversation with your banker shouldn’t happen when you urgently need the money. \nWhat You’ll Gain \nBANKING RELATIONSHIPS \nUnderstand why building the relationship before you need capital matters. \nCAPITAL ACCESS \nExplore lending\, lines of credit\, acquisition financing\, and other capital pathways. \nACQUISITION & GROWTH \nUnderstand how capital can be strategically used to buy\, build\, and scale. \nDEBT vs. EQUITY \nExplore how entrepreneurs evaluate borrowing\, outside investment\, and ownership. \nBUSINESS VALUE \nLearn how financial decisions made today can affect the value and marketability of a company tomorrow. \nEXIT STRATEGY \nExplore what entrepreneurs should consider financially before transitioning or selling a business. \nWho Should Attend \nEntrepreneurs • Founders • Executives • Professionals • Business Owners • Emerging Investors \nThis conversation is designed for women who are ready to move beyond simply earning income and begin thinking more strategically about capital\, ownership\, leverage\, and long-term wealth. \nPresented By \nALPHA WOMAN ASSOCIATION \nAlpha Woman Association advances women’s economic growth through education\, funding pathways\, strategic partnerships\, and access to opportunity. \nWomen in Wealth creates proximity between women and the people\, institutions\, information\, and opportunities shaping today’s capital economy. \nEvent Details \nTuesday\, September 29\, 2026 \n6:00 PM – 8:00 PM CT \nThe Ion Houston \n4201 Main Street Houston\, TX 77002 \nRegistration required.
