    Our next Chicago ACM presentation on 6/14 is about Venture Capital and startups.

    You should attend because:

    ¿ Your startup is seeking funds to exploit your idea.
    ¿ You work for a startup or are considering working for one.
    ¿ You want to know what Venture Capitalists look for before they invest.
    ¿ You want to know the pros and cons of accepting help from VCs.
    ¿ You are an investor and you want to know how to ¿follow the money¿.

    Venture Capitalists look for high growth, unique ideas that are supported by a visionary leader and a strong team. Does your existing situation fit that criteria? Do you want to qualify for their interest?


    Come to our one-hour presentation on 6/14, 6 PM, Virtual Session, so that you can get a better idea of what makes a product, a team, or even an individual and their idea attractive to those who can help you.
