Emerging Enterprise Series Featuring Barry Etra with Keiretsu Forum

Barry Etra worked in sales and marketing, operations, and general management for manufacturing organizations in the Northeast. He came to Atlanta to be the COO of a plastics manufacturing plant, and then ran the Etra Advisory Group, helping companies and institutions find funding that they couldn’t get traditionally. In 2014 he founded the RAISE Forum in partnership with Emory; they help early-stage companies in the Southeast get senior funding from the Southeast, which helps keep companies here. He has a BA and an MBA from Columbia University. Connect with Barry on LinkedIn.
