Inv£storQuest
Entries for the 2009 Inv£storQuest Investment challenge are now closed
Inv£storQuest is a rare opportunity to put your proposition in front of venture capital investors. It can normally take hundreds of emails, phone calls, letters etc to get in front of one single VC. Inv£storQuest gives you the chance to present to up to four VCs in one day.
This challenge is exclusively for innovative high growth ad technology entrepreneurs in the Yorkshire and Humberside region and offers access to investment from a group of venture capital funds. The aim of the challenge is to encourage people seeking early-stage funding and business support to put their ideas forward. As they say: nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Selected companies will have the chance to step up to the hot spot and present their business proposition to a panel of investment funds interested in early stage opportunities at the event. The funds involved so far are the Enterprise Venture's Rising Stars Fund, Aqaurius Equity Partners, Viking Fund and YFM Group.
In addition each presenter will have the chance of winning up to £1000 of top level Intellectual Property, Accountancy or Legal advice from three of our Sponsors (£3000 in total). The winners will be selected by the panel of VCs.
All successful applicants to InvestorQuest will receive practical feedback on their propositions and help in honing their pitch along with appropriate referrals to business support programmes.
Inv£storQuest brings to the fore the entrepreneurial spirit of those keen to take chances in order to achieve their aspirations. If you have a great idea that just needs funding to get off the ground please fill in an application form or call us for for more information on how to get involved.
