| Event Description |
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 2010.
If you are an entrepreneur in a startup that is currently seeking capital, and would like to present your best 90-second elevator pitch to a panel of VCs, you must register in advance and have confirmation from the program manager that you are on the list of presenters.
If you are an investor, come and listen to entrepreneurs' pitches. 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 or Workshop panels.
During the evening, entrepreneurs on the list will present their pitches to the entire room. Our distinguished panel of early stage investors will ask questions and provide brief feedback. After the 90 second pitch there will be five minutes of Q&A by the panel followed by two minutes of critique.
Our lively panel discussion and Q&A will also provide critical insight into what it takes to raise capital today.
Moderator:
John Hall, Horizon Ventures
Panelists:
Steve Wurzburg, Pillsbury

John Balen, Canaan Ventures
Greg Robinson, Peninsula Ventures
