VC TaskForce - Bridging the CEO / VC Communications Gap October 30, 2008

Your company presentation is the single most important fundraising document. Delivered at a VC partner meeting or shared over email, your company overview defines who you are, what you do and the extent to which your firm sounds like an attractive investment opportunity for angels, VCs or strategic investor.

When you pitch to VCs, do you know what VCs hear when you speak? Do you present what VCs actually want to know -- or merely communicate your passion for your product? The VC Taskforce is pleased to offer a Company Presentation workshop for executives responsible for crafting and delivering the company's investor pitch. Our goal: bridging the communications gap between what CEOs want to say and what VCs want to hear.

Learn what the key 'must have' elements are in a 'perfect pitch'. Learn what the most serious red flags are that lead to early disqualification. What makes a great story? How do VCs distinguish a great technology from a great company? A great company from a great investment?

Dr. Ronald Weissman, our session leader, has been an active Silicon Valley VC (Apax Partners) and angel investor (Band of Angels) and has trained many executives in understanding how VCs think and evaluate deals. As a VC, he has critiqued hundreds of pitches and as a former executive, delivered many pitches in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street.
