If you have questions about the opportunity to present at the conference, please contact Ted Dickey of SSM Ventures at ted@lighthousellc.net or 501.831.1161. ”
Folks, I attended last years Arkansas Venture Forum and this is the real deal. Angel Investors, venture capitalists, people with more money than they know what to do with, will be here in Little Rock for the Venture Capital Forum. You will get the opportunity to make a formal presentation to people who can fund your business idea.
But, in order to make your pitch, you have to submit an application and an executive summary. If this is too late of notice, you should plan on attending one of the workshops and the forum to get an idea for how you can prepare for next year’s Venture Capital Forum.
