19th Annual Vermont Investors Forum
The Vermont Investors Forum (VIF) brings together the best of Vermont’s entrepreneurial and investment communities. We’re responsible for millions of dollars in raised investment capital, strategic consulting and board relationships, and the tools and resources you’ll need to transition from start-up to profitable company.
The VIF Steering Committee is currently in the process of selecting unique growth companies seeking to raise capital. The companies will present executive summary style pitches to an invitation-only audience of investors on Friday, October 21, 2011 at the Stowe Mountain Resort in Stowe, Vermont.
The selected companies for 2011 will receive coaching from the VIF Steering Committee prior to the event and present in back-to-back groupings, leaving ample time for attendees to meet individually with the presenters during breaks. With this format, the Forum provides an excellent and efficient way for a number of growth companies and investors to connect in a short period of time.
Qualified angel and institutional investors will attend the invitation-only event. The participating investors bring a broad range of entrepreneurial and professional experience and expertise, and typically participate in these exciting companies as
- investors
- coaches
- consultants
- board members
- management
The 2010 Presenters were as follows:
Aprexis Health Solutions, Inc.
ElectroCell Technologies, Inc.
Vermont Spirits Distilling Co.
During the event, Investors are asked to vote for their favorite presenting company. The following were last year’s winners:
1st Place ($500): Draker Laboratories
2nd Place ($250): Sound Innovations
3rd Place ($150): ElectroCell Technologies
The Forum includes an Innovators’ Corner which features earlier-stage products and business concepts not quite ready for formal presentation.
Last year’s Innovators presented 3-minute pitches to the attending audience:
Renewable Energy Resources, Inc.
