Meeting
Summary: The business plan is your primary vehicle for conveying an
organized thought process to investors about your business, team, and pathway
to success. Successful entrepreneurs and their investors recognize that to
raise capital and grow their businesses, they need well-conceived and
-implemented business plans. Our panel consists of three successful investors
(venture capitalists & angels) who have also been successful CEOs and CEO
advisors. 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.
