Speed Venture Summit™ October 28, 2008 in Manchester, NH

Businesses seeking growth capital for all stages of development will speed pitch to the region’s savviest and shrewdest investors, from individuals and Angels to VC firms and private equity and mezz-debt investors. Following the presenter-investor segment, the Summit will include a business networking session, open to the public, and a pitch-off among the day’s top companies.

What is it? Speed Venture Summit is an opportunity for you to showcase your business plan to several investors, all in one afternoon. The format gives you several minutes to pitch your company and receive feedback from the investor. Then, refine your pitch before presenting to the next investor group.

Why attend? Meet a number of investors in one place, face-to-face. Showcase your charisma, trustworthiness and experience, along with the soundness of your plan. Present yourself as well as your ideas.

Pitching: Can you pitch your business to someone and get him/her excited about your business in 5 minutes? Think of your pitch as a movie trailer. Engage the audience of investors. Keep things simple and to the point.

Benefits
• Scheduled pitches to as many as six of the region’s top investor groups
