The extent of VC interest in SBIR-involved firms is quite broad is scope and scale. Over 1650 investment firms of various types have some level of equity participation in over 1200 SBIR firms - see Table inset. Almost all deals are syndicated. Hence, totals do not tally.
Invitation:
All of those entities which have made investment in currently SBIR-involved firms - over 700 of them - have received invitation to be involved in this event.
We are committed to having at least TWO qualified investors in the primary presentation sessions in which 4-5 firms will be allocated 25 minutes each for presentation and Q/A. We are seeking the active participation of at least 10-15 interested investors .. but could accommodate more if the interest is real.
