Deal Flow - Finding the Best Deals
and the Best Syndicate Partners
—————————————————

You are invited to participate in a Roundtable session at which you and your peers at other venture funds will have the opportunity to pitch the most interesting deals you are working on (anonymously). The objective of this session is to get to know one another better, to share areas of interest and expertise, and to identify possible syndicate partners for high quality tech investment opportunities.

Co-Chairs:
Bill Reichert, President, Garage Technology Ventures
Michael Danaher, Partner, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati

Agenda:

• Venture fund Introductions: Participants will each have two minutes to describe their funds
  
  
• Deal Pitch: Participants will each have two minutes to discuss a company (anonymously), followed by a brief Q&A with other participants
  
  
• Evaluation: At the end of the session, we will discuss the success of the process, and ideas for extending or improving the model

This is a somewhat radical concept in our industry, but it promises to be one of the most interesting evenings you could have (with your clothes on).

Even if you cannot make this meeting:
We would like to have a profile of your fund. Please take a few seconds to provide us with your profile [contact Bill Reichert , ]. If you would like to provide unnamed deals for syndication you will have the opportunity to do so at the end of your profile. We will contact you to let you know if you will be conferenced into the meeting to discuss your deal.

Small Venture Fund Special Interest Group:
The group is designed for partners and principals of venture capital funds that are under $100 million in their current funds. Given the changes in the venture landscape, it makes sense for those of us running small funds to collaborate, as the profile of investment opportunities more frequently calls for a syndicate of small funds.

With all the shared interests and opportunities among smaller funds, it makes sense to get together to increase channels of communication and the exchange of ideas. In that spirit, we have created the Small Venture Fund Special Interest Group.

If there are any topics in particular you would like to discuss, please let us know when you register.

Thanks! And we hope to see you November 10.
