Venture Forum Kick off Sarasota Oct 14th

This will be THE Event in Sarasota for business professionals and entrepreneurs. During this challenging economic environment, both nationally and regional, business leaders, private investors and entrepreneurs need economic advice. Our panel will provide valuable insights on the health of Venture Capital Industry, an important indicator of the overall health of the U.S. economy and take questions from the audience concerning the investment climate. As I stated in our recent press release, "The investment climate is critical to the U.S. economy because long term gains from economic stimulus come from investment not consumption and putting capital to work in innovative and entrepreneurial firms is the mission of the Gulf Coast Venture Forum."

Join guest speaker, Mark Heesen, President of the National Venture Capital Association, as he discusses the state of the Venture Capital Industry both from a regional and a local perspective.
