Are You Looking For Capital?

Posted By Cathy Belk

Have you heard about 3 Rivers Venture Fair? The venture fair where past featured companies have gone on to raise over $292 million dollars? The one where last year, 44% of the presenting companies raised capital as a result of the fair?

Whether you have or haven’t, I’m guessing that if you are looking for funding for your high growth company, you are intrigued. Good! Now turn that interest into action today by applying to present. While applications are being accepted on a rolling basis, we have heard that they’re pouring in and 30% of the spots are already taken! If you want to be considered to present your company to more than 500 A-list venture capitalists, private investors, I-bankers, and other business leaders, I’d be sure to fill out the application online no later than Friday May 29. I think after that, there will be very few (if any) spots left.

A few other things to note:

  • If accepted, you’ll need to attend a mandatory Bootcamp from 12 - 5 pm on Thurs Aug. 13 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
  • Also, you’ll need to pay ~$600 for your attendance, which gives you the chance to exhibit for the entire conference. (Remember, last year, at least 44% of companies got a payback on those investments!)
  • The fair itself is Sept. 15 and 16, also at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.

Finding out more about 3 Rivers Venture Fair is easy, so put this on your list of things to do today.
