Venture Forum opportunity

Executives at young companies who feel they may be a few dollars away from breaking through should consider contacting the Florida Venture Forum. The organization's Early Stage Capital Conference for 2010 will be held in September.

Between 10 and 12 early stage companies with the potential for high growth will be given the chance to present before an audience of investors in hopes of obtaining the capital they need to accelerate growth.

The opportunity to present has helped former participants raise more than $2 billion since the events began, according to the Forum's website.
