The Venture Bplan series is Tech Valley’s premier monthly venture forum. Each month, two start-up technology ventures are invited from across the region to present their business plans and financial needs before a panel of investors and a general audience. The events attract an audience of a hundred or more attendees each month, including investors, entreprenuers, students, faculty, and members of the business community.
Center for Economic Growth and Incubator Staff take presenting companies through a rigorous coaching process before the event. Businesses at the beginning of the equity fund raising process are especially encouraged to become involved. A panel of professional investors provide questions and feedback on the presentations as do a formal group of area consultants after the event. Presenting companies are invited to apply to the Tech Vally Angel Network forum at half off the usual application fee. Of the many companies that have presented to date, 35% have subsequently received equity funding.

PreSeed Workshop is a joint effort between The Tech Garden and MedTech.
The workshop is a systematic process to help scientists and researchers evaluate the commercialization potential of an invention. The workshop is designed to take a raw idea from a university lab or company and investigate its marketplace viability using a preliminary commercialization plan that is developed during the workshop. PreSeed Workshop is two full days of research and analyizing by the inventing entrepreneurs to decide the product/business potential through these questions: 1) Is the idea worth pursuing? 2) What should their role be in the start up venture? 3) What should they do after the workshop to move the business forward? The entrepreneurs/participants receive essential input from the venture capital and business communities that will assist them with launching a start up company.
Program kick off is the evening of August 14; the sessions are held during the day of August 15 and August 22.
Contact Vice President of Entrepreneurial Programs of The Tech Garden Paul Brooks at 315-474-0910 or Executive Director of MedTech Heather Erickson at 315-423-7300 for more information.
