A signature forum at DASAR events, “Meet the Money” provides entrepreneurs of early-stage companies with the opportunity to deliver an elevator pitch to a panel of venture capitalists and investment bankers. The panelists provide immediate and valuable feedback, including whether they are interested in a potential investment in the presenting companies. Both the audience and the participants gain valuable information about what investors look for when financing a startup company. “Meet the Money” also provides an intricate look at such topics as securing funding, researching the right markets, and growing a business on the path to profitability.
