Meeting Overview:
The business plan is your primary vehicle for conveying an organized thought process to investors about your business, team, and pathway to success. Entrepreneurs need well-conceived business plans to raise capital and grow their businesses. Our panel consists of three successful investors (venture capitalists & angels). They will provide advice on how to put a business plan together, tell you what works and doesn’t work in today’s investment climate, network with you, and answer your questions.
