VC Connect: A Q & A Roundtable for entrepreneurs to meet and talk with VCs.

There are lots of conferences, panels and beauty pageants for entrepreneurs, but when do you really have the chance to ask VCs the questions you really need answered?

At VC Connect, that's when.

Come with your questions to a Q & A Roundtable with a panel of experienced, savvy and open venture capitalists who are eager to answer your questions, and hopeful of meeting the next great entrepreneur. The panel features partners of venture funds that are smaller or newer. These investors may be a better fit for your startup than the standard big-brand Sand Hill Road fund.

The session will begin with a brief panel discussion of: "How do investors assess the market opportunity for a new technology?" And then the floor will be open to questions from entrepreneurs on this and all other topics.

As an added bonus: The panelists have committed to providing feedback within one week of the event on any questions or executive summaries you send them.

Moderator: Bill Reichert, Managing Director, Garage Technology Ventures
Emcee: Josh Jaffe, General Manager, TechConfidential.com
