The VC Forum has a pretty simple mission - connect innovative technology companies with smart sources of capital. And they're looking for BC companies to join them for their upcoming roadtrip to Seattle on December 4th.

A group of VCs from Silicon Valley, Seattle & Vancouver will join together to discuss technology deals and the latest industry trends. The VC Forum has been in existence since 2001 and has annual events in Austin, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Portland, Raleigh/Durham, Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Vancouver.

The upcoming Seattle roadtrip includes the following events:

  • VC Luncheon - A chance to network with fellow VCs
  • Deal Exchange - VC to VC sharing of investment opportunities in 3 minute intervals
  • Deal Showcase - 10 pre-screened tech deals will have 13 minutes to present to the exclusive VC group

Eight of the ten showcase presentation spots are filled which leaves two open and event organizers are eager to fill the roster. The BC Ministry of Technology, Trade & Economic Development are picking up the $500 presenter fee, so this event shouldn't cost startups anything to attend. Interested? Contact info@vcforum.org asap.
