The Elevator Pitch Roundtable
Wednesday November 7, 2007 from 6:00pm - 8:30pm
Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP
2475 Hanover Street
Palo Alto, California 94304 Get Directions
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 2007. Each of our events has consistently drawn an excellent entrepreneur-to-investor ratio.

If you are an entrepreneur in a startup and currently seeking capital, come prepared with your best 60-second elevator pitch.

If you are an investor come and listen to entrepreneurs' pitches. You never know where you'll find your next deal. 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 panels or Workshop panels.

During the evening, a select number of entrepreneurs will present their pitch to the entire room. Our distinguished panel of early stage investors will ask questions and provide brief feedback. Please note that pitching time limits will be strictly enforced!

Our lively panel discussion and Q&A will also provide critical insight into what it takes to raise capital today.

Moderator: Steve Bengston, Director, Emerging Company Services, PricewaterhouseCoopers

Panelists:
Chad Kinzelberg, Director, Scale Venture Partners
Ted Driscoll, Venture Partner, Claremont Creek Ventures
Steven Kan, Associate, Clearstone Venture Partners
Gary Benton, Partner, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman

If you wish to give your pitch, please register and then email Rich Weingart, Partner, Sweet & Baker Insurance Brokers, Direct Phone (415) 512-2122, who will provide you with further instructions and advice.
