The Capital Zone
Meet active capital sources at The Capital Zone. Open to all attendees, this forum connects middle market executives with leading venture capitalists, private equity firms, and business lenders, representing several billion dollars in available capital. These capital sources are not the Dinosaurs of 2006, mired in the tar pits of inactivity…These capital sources are evolved and active, dealing with everybody's realities of 2009. With hundreds of successful transactions under their belts, Capital Zone financiers are looking for their next high-potential investments. Could their next transactions be with your company?
There is no other comparable opportunity for a business owner or financial executive to connect so quickly with the "Golden Rolodex" of capital sources at this event. Also, there will be facilitated networking sessions, giving conference attendees opportunities to connect with others with similar or complementary interests.
Happily wear your full-contact business helmet when you enter the Capital Zone, the arena in which middle market companies play with middle market capital sources. The action will be intense, and it could be wild.
