Showing you the money

The Canadian Venture Forum for 2006 is going to be held May 10th–12th  at the Marriott Eaton Centre Hotel, here in Toronto.

You need to be here, presenting your companies, your ideas, etc, so your friendly VC community can show you the money.  It is a great event, one spot where you can get in front of all the top VCs in Canada as well as few US guys looking for deals up north.  And if all those folks are busy, there is always me.

In short, it is well worth your time to try and get selected.

The web site is here and you will find the application. You have to be a Canadian start up, folks.

Some tips.

– I’m on the selection committee and, for sure, I am the only person blogging, heh, so I’m using that as an advantage.

– Even if you don’t think you need coin now, do it anyway, it is good practice to tell the story and start getting to know the financial community.

– You actually get two shots. The committee and the show itself, so lots of people find out you are out there.

– Fill out the application and when you get asked who referred you, put me down. I’ll know it was a faithful reader and we will show all those non-believers, the power of blogging, etc.

A nice show full of “JLA companies”, yeah, has a nice ring to it. Plus there are some really good prizes. Over 1billion dollars has been put into companies showing at venture forum since 2000. Even in Canadian dollars, that is not chump change.

This show always fills up, we always end up with way too many applications and have to turn companies down.  So fill out the application now to avoid being disappointed.

Now, Mark Evans and Mathew Ingram, link love, boyz, let’s get lots of companies showing off in our town.

Since both you and Mark are pimping this, I'll give it a look. If nothing else, it should be a great opportunity to form some relationships.
