The Cleantech VC Pitch
May 17, 2011 | 6:00-8:30 PM | 650 Page Mill Road| Palo Alto
Event Sponsor: Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati

Our Cleantech VC Pitch program through VC Taskforce offer an opportunity for entrepreneurs seeking start up funding to pitch in front of a distinguished panel of investors whose investment focus is cleantech.  The evening will be exciting and a terrific learning experience for all entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs learn what VCs are looking for in a pitch presentation.

Entrepreneurs seeking capital will have 2 minutes to give their best Elevator Pitch in front of the Cleantech VCs.  Please note that pitching time limits will be strictly enforced!

Investors come and listen to entrepreneurs’ pitches. You never know where you’ll find your next deal. Find out how our panel of investors rate entrepreneurs’ pitches; which VCs pass and for what reasons; and which entrepreneurs other VCs want to talk to ASAP. Please let us know if you would like to participate on one of our Cleantech VC Pitch panels.

This is a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to network with investors, present their company, and hear first-hand what it takes to raise early-stage capital in 2011.
