<P CLASS="design357"> A CONFERENCE WHERE INVESTORS TELL YOU WHAT INVESTORS EXPECT FROM FOUNDERS</P>
<P>VC Taskforce has given pitch events for the last 10 years. And even though we provide pitch guidelines, many people still dont provide the information investors are looking for.</P>
<P>At the Finding Your First Investor Conference investors themselves will tell you what information they need from you so they can make informed decisions about investing in your company.</P>
<P>Youll learn how to tailor your pitch content to make an impression on investors. In addition, investors will provide information about what they expect from you in the second & third meetings with the partners.</P>
<P>So before you pitch to investors, get the tips & tools you need to make your meeting a success. This is the place!</P>
