AAMA's VC/Entrepreneur Program aims to showcase entrepreneurs to interested
investors, while increasing their exposure and shortening their time
to capital. The aim of the program is to create innovative forums
in which entrepreneurs and VCs have the opportunity to make strong
and long-lasting connections designed to help entrepreneurs expand business
sources and contacts among the venture capital firms. It is our hope
and continued goal that the success of the VC/Entrepreneur Program will
lead to a continued acceleration in entrepreneurial activity and new company
formation.
