The Investment Forum is held every month at the Plug and Play campus and is always accompanied by a complimentary cocktail and networking hour. At these events, start-up companies get the opportunity to pitch to a panel of high-level Venture Capital firms in an Elevator Pitch format. Each start-up gets five minutes to pitch their company to the panel and the panel gets five minutes to engage in Q&A with the presenters. As these events are open to the public, the audience size typically consists of approximately 90 Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and investors.

This Elevator Pitch style event provides a tremendous amount of value to the venture firms, the audience and especially the start-up companies. The start-up company gets exposure, public speaking practice and feedback from an experienced and wise panel of VC’s.
