On Strategy: AeA Announces Capital Conference

By Jack Mixner

The Orange County California chapter of the AeA (formerly the American Electronics Association) announces a new capital conference for private companies looking for national awareness and investments. Forty companies will present at the conference. The conference is on October 12, 2006 in Dana Point, California. 

Planning to Present When dealing with venture capitalists we always recommend that a firm have five things:
  1. A complete business plan
  2. An executive summary
  3. Financial projections covering at least three years (more probably, five)
  4. Some sort of PowerPoint presentation for presenting verbally to investors and, finally,
  5. An "elevator pitch" summarizing your deal in less than thirty seconds.
