Join us for a discussion with David Trotter, Founder and Managing Director of Winnebago Seed Fund. David will talk about the similarities between starting a venture capital fund and a new company, how venture funds and other investors do their due diligence before investing, advice he has for young entrepreneurs and other topics. This discussion will be moderated by Kathleen Gallagher, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and Executive Director of 5 Lakes Institute.

He has a Bachelor of Science in finance from Marquette University’s Applied Investment Management Program and the Chartered Financial Analyst® and Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst® designations.
