Entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists and service providers are expected to come together at The W hotel in Texas for this much anticipated event.
Chairman of LDJ Capital, David Drake says, "This showcase will provide the delegates an opportunity to meet and socialize with leading investment experts. Aside from that, they will have the chance to win the big prizes."
Those wishing to participate have applied before January 30 for a chance to attend the four-hour showcase. Investors will look at each application, then, vote for the semi-finalists who will be invited to attend the gourmet and top-shelf dinner and pitch competition for free. National events winners, who were also voted for by the investors, are already semifinalists. The finalists will be chosen by the investor judges from the pool of semifinalists attending the showcase. Finalists will then be presented after the panel, and the investors will choose a winner. The winner will receive $100,000 in software, in addition to services from the event's sponsors. Also, they will be personally introduced to all the investor judges and speakers. Afterwards, participants will head to ff Massive for an after party hosted by ff Venture Capital.
The Venture Dinner will highlight well-known entrepreneurs, investors and VCs, a panel discussion and elevator pitches from the entrepreneurs and startups.
