May 18, 2016
01.30 pm-05.30 pm
Rise NY
43 West 23rd Street New York, NY 10010


Times are changing, valuations are dropping, capital is slowing down.... but entrepreneurs still need to raise their next round. Our panel of active investors will discuss exactly what it takes to get a check, what metrics they are looking for, how long that capital should last, what you should expect for the rest of the year, and, of course, the best ways to reach these and other Investors. There will be plenty of time for networking with the Investor panelists, both before the panel & after the panel at the Cocktail Party! There are only 100 seats at this event!
The Soho Loft - The Voice of Capital Formation - and Victoria Global, an emerging force in the Corporate Communications, Investor Relations and Public Relations arena, with FundingPost join together to bring you this groundbreaking conference.
