Speaker(s):

Panel Discussion, moderated by Jack Derby

Boston Harbor Hotel - Wharf Room
70 Rowes Wharf
Boston, MA

So, you've just seen the Q4 stats that show venture investing has fallen for another quarter, but you're confused since you hear and see that deals are still getting done.  Come and listen to three highly respected veterans of venture investing talk about what you need to do in 2009 if you expect to get invested, whether you are looking for Series A or a Series funding.

• What are the new rules of the venture game, given this economy?
• What's expected in business plans, presentation packages,
  and connecting with venture firms?
• What are the pressures on the venture firms for new funds,
  given the problems with pension and hedge funds?
• How does one sort out what venture firms to go to?

These questions, and many more, will be answered at this month's
DealMakers Breakfast at the Boston Harbor Hotel.
