In today’s business environment, the competition to get Investment from a Venture Capitalist from Silicon Valley is fierce. V.C.’s get hundreds of business proposals submitted to them, but only a small fraction get looked at and an even smaller number actually get funded. Come out on July 30th to hear first hand what V.C.’s from Silicon Valley look for when investing in a company. What value do they place on the “team”, on the idea and on the business opportunity? Silicon Valley is flush with cash, but what you need to learn is how to separate yourself from the pack. In addition to the panel discussion, there will be food, drinks and networking among your peers. Don’t miss out on this event where Silicon Valley comes to Chicago for one night.
