Have you ever thought about using venture capital to accelerate the growth of your business? Would you like to learn more about this highly attractive financial lever? Attend Sherbrooke Innopole’s Rendez-vous des capitaux de risque (RVCAP – Venture Capital Rendez-Vous), a venture-capital seminar that will be held from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Grand Times Hotel on June 20, 2013.

This event will be attended by around ten guest speakers, the key players of several venture-capital companies in Quebec, such as François Gilbert, CEO of Anges Québec, and Jacques Bernier, president of Teralys, a $700 million fund.

Guest speakers will discuss all of the venture-capital financing options, from the pre-market phase to the main investment strategy, and help you determine whether it is right for you.

This is a unique opportunity to learn more about the financial, legal, and business aspects of venture-capital financing:

• Which venture-capital funds are specialized in various sectors?
• Which business profile is the most desirable?
• What are the selection criteria?
• How much does it cost?
• What is the financing process?
• How do you get venture-capital companies interested in you?

Cost: $60 (including break and lunch)
