VC TaskForce - Funding Realities - Elevator Pitch Roundtable September 6, 2006

Entrepreneurs and Investors Only

The VC Taskforce Elevator Pitch Roundtable is a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to network with investors and other CXOs, present their company and idea, and hear first-hand what it takes to raise early-stage capital in 2006. Each of our events has consistently drawn an excellent entrepreneur-to-investor ratio.

If you are an entrepreneur in a Bay Area startup and currently seeking capital, come prepared with your best elevator pitch and copies of your Executive Summary.

If you are an investor come and listen to entrepreneurs' pitches. You never know where you'll find your next deal. Find out how our panel of investors rate the entrepreneurs' pitches; which VCs pass and for what reasons; and, which entrepreneurs other VCs want to talk to ASAP. Please let us know if you would like to participate on one of our Elevator Pitch Roundtable panels or Workshop panels.

During the evening, a select number of entrepreneurs will present their pitch to the entire room. Our distinguished panel of early stage investors will ask questions and provide brief feedback. Previous panelists have included investors from Vantage Point, Hummer Winblad, WaldenVC, Gabriel Venture Partners, Cardinal Ventures, Bay Partners, Interwest, LeapFrog, Intel Capital, BlueRun, Apax Partners, Levensohn, Keiretsu Forum, Sand Hill Angels, and many others.

Please note that pitching time limits will be strictly enforced!
