A Note to Potential Entrepreneur Attendees

If you are currently raising capital and need to take any of the following steps, then you should seriously consider applying to present at this event.

1)   Go outside of your existing network of contacts to find investors.

2)   Schedule an expensive national road trip to meet capital sources.

3)   Pay to retain an investment banker or placement agent.

4)   Find a cost-effective proven venue to locate new investors.

5)   Accelerate the funding process to execute your business plan.

6)   Move-on, as you are still waiting to hear back from investors, who should have provided the funding you needed by now.

​

Although we wish it could be, this is not a free event. (As is true with most things in life, it is not what or if you pay, but what you get for what you pay.) Our events are not primarily funded by vendors or service providers, which ensures an "investor-only" venue. Accordingly, companies are required to pay a fee to be featured at the event based upon a number of alternatives, which we try to tailor to the financial situation of each company and may include a partially differed or contingent payment. As every company varies with respect to its financial resources, stage, revenues and funding requirements, we do not have a "one size fits all" structure with respect to fees or visibility options. Our forum could be best described as a co-op for the companies that present - such as a trade show would be. We underwrite the events and the featured companies share in the overhead cost. They do so because our model ensures them an audience of nearly 100% qualified investors who have paid to attend and whom we disclose in advance.

This highly-targeted venue can help you solve the three biggest problems in the fundraising process:

1) identifying qualified investors;

2) gaining credible entrée to them; and

3) meeting them under favorable circumstances. Moreover, the event drives the single most essential factor in getting funded quickly, and that is the ability to create contemporaneous interest among investors - which also can serve to significantly improve deal terms.

Please keep in mind that this event distinguishes itself from many other venues in several key respects. Here are a few of them:

1)   Nearly 100% of the guests (not connected with the presenting companies) are active investors.

2)   Presenting companies reach a national audience of qualified funding sources focusing on early-stage opportunities.

3)   Only a few companies are featured on the program which provides for high visibility to investors.

4)   The events are not sponsor-supported and accordingly not heavily populated with service providers.

5)   There are no concurrent activities or competing presentations. All companies present to the entire audience.

6)   Companies are never more than 10 to 20 minutes from their question/comment period after they present.

7)   These are "deal-oriented" events. There are no panels or other distractions that keep the spotlight from the presenters.

8)   The majority of the attendees are principals of the private equity or venture capital firms whom they represent.

9)   Presenters can plan for the forums in advance as we provide confirmed guest information prior to the conference dates.

10) Featured companies benefit from the strong brand equity that we have built with investors over nearly 20 years.

If you believe that your company's potential is truly compelling and that management's vision can be effectively communicated, this private event will provide you with a unique national platform to get your message across in "One Place and in One Day" to active serious investors who want to see fundable deals.
