ENTREPRENEUR’S FORUM

Bicentennial Hall, Room 216
Middlebury College

If you presently operate an under-funded young company; want to start a for-profit or not-for-profit enterprise, or learn more about the process of creating, funding and growing an early-stage company; then the DigitalBridges2.0 Entrepreneur’s Forum on May 10, 2008, at Middlebury College, is for you!

Witness the pitch-for-funding process first hand, as Vermont start-ups present themselves to an audience of institutional and angel investors, entrepreneurs; and Middlebury students, faculty and alumni. The founders and their MSG teams will respond to questions from the judges panel and the audience.

Network with fellow entrepreneurs, investors and business people as well as with Middlebury students, faculty and alumni.
