About Our National Business Funding Conferences

Our forums are exclusive invitation-only events designed to assemble a select group of business visionaries, entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capitalists, investment professionals, and money managers. In addition to presenting "one-of-a-kind" private investment opportunities, this prestigious event at the Club 101 New York is designed to be an ideal setting for new business development, exchange of ideas, creation of deal flow, location of capital sources and ultra high-end networking.

Guests at the National Venture Forum will see up to fifteen early, later-stage and emerging growth investment opportunities from throughout the U.S. These companies, featuring new breakthrough technologies and innovative business models, have been pre-screened to address the "common sense" criteria of value, proof of concept, proprietary edge, competitive advantage and potential for success applied venture capitalists, investment partnerships, private equity funds, and Small Business Investment Corporations.

Several hundred early and later-stage opportunities are considered before we select the 12 to 15 companies that present at the symposium. We know how difficult it is today's market to find truly fundable deals with scaleable business models and proven traction in their market. In fact, this is why so many and partners of leading venture capital and private equity firms from throughout the US and overseas attend our events. They have found our forums to be a valuable use of their time in seeking-out potentially profitable investments.
