Pitch for Funds Before Dozens of Investors…
Without Leaving Your Office
Date: Oct. 23, 2008
Time: 9am - 12pm PST
If you're a young company, you know funding is hard to find. Persuading just one venture capitalist or strategic investor to look at you can cost you thousands of dollars in time and travel expenses. What if you could pitch dozens of investors from around the world without leaving your office?
Now you can! On Sept. 3, iHollywood Forum is launching its first Virtual Venture Forum for young companies involved in digital media, mobile, networking and green technology. Thirty select companies will pitch online before a panel of VCs and strategic investors and an audience of up to 200 invited guests from around the world.
........Deadline is Aug. 30, 2008
The Virtual Venture Forum offers:
- Exclusive access to top investors
- Professional feedback
- Free to apply
- No travel required
- Chance to win "Best of Show" contest
How It Works
The Virtual Venture Forum is based on iHollywood Forum’s successful VCDemo model, pioneered at our first live show in the Bay Area last summer and at numerous other events throughout the years.
Each company presents for 5 minutes using an online WebEx conference room, supported by live video, audio conferencing and slides. Their presentation is judged for an additional 5 minutes by a 3-person panel of VCs and/or strategic investors. Up to 200 invited executives from around the world will listen to the presentation and text questions to the presenting company. At the end of the day, the audience votes on which company they believe is most worthy of funding in each category. The grand winner receives a “Best of Show” award and press release over BusinessWire announcing the news.
.......Deadline is Aug. 30, 2008
