Vancouver VC Roundtable

Vancouver VC Roundtable

Something's missing in Canada's tech community - the chance to informally interact with VCs, learn about what it is exactly that they do and how the funding process works.

The VC Roundtable series aims to fill this gap, by hosting small (free!) get togethers across Canada's major cities where Rick Segal, JLA Ventures Partner and VC blogger (http://ricksegal.typepad.com) will walk through what getting involved with VCs is all about.

What To Expect:

  • 25 attendee limit
  • Informal/Free
  • About 2 - 3 hours in length
  • Information on VC/Angels and the process
  • Sample Term sheets, documents, business plans, PowerPoints
  • Example Pitch or Pitches to show what's interesting/good/bad
  • Lots of time for questions

What a VC Roundtable Isn't:

  • Demo/Startup/FooBar/Camp/Conference/MESH/MASH
  • VCs trashing your ideas
  • You trashing somebody else's ideas
  • Hours of PowerPoint slides
    What You Will Leave With:

  • An understanding of the VC world as I see it (and I am a user group of one!)
  • A good set of reference documents/examples/materials
  • Some of your top of mind questions answered
  • A better feel for the VC industry and if raising third party capital is right for you
  • A good place to start
