Vermont Investors Forum seeks applicants for 19th annual event

The Vermont Investors Forum is seeking applicants for their 19th annual event to be held at the Stowe Mountain Resort, on October 21. Each year angel and institutional investors from around the region hear from a select group of companies seeking to raise equity capital and expand their networks at VIF.
Over the years, the Forum has proven itself as one of the best ways to connect companies with capital. Stephen Luhr, Founder and CEO of Hammerhead Sleds commented, ‘We found our first real investor at the Vermont Investors Forum, which lead to his angel group and our biggest investment to date. Any one investment group pitch is not the answer; it’s the culmination of fine tuning, practice and vetting your idea. VIF is a real good way to catch a wide variety of people in the 'circle'."
All company applications are reviewed confidentially by the VIF Steering Committee, which then selects the companies that go on to present at the Forum. The Steering Committee is comprised of 14 volunteers that hold strong ties to the Vermont entrepreneurial and investment community. The Committee will provide feedback and coaching for the selected companies throughout the entire process.
While at the Forum, presenters will have the opportunity to interact one-on-one with investors, entrepreneurs and other key funders or service providers. The agenda for the Forum allows for ten live presentations of 15 minutes each, including a Q & A period.
The fee for making a presentation is $195 for two company representatives, which includes a continental breakfast, coffee breaks and a luncheon with the keynote speaker. Please note, this fee is due only after you have been notified by the Committee that your company has been selected.
If your company is interested in presenting at the Vermont Investors Forum or wanting to understand more about equity financing and whether it is a good fit for your company, please visit our website at www.VermontInvestorsForum.com or contact us at 802.658.7830 or [email protected].
