The Virtual Small Busines Growth Conference - Weekly!

Submitted by ChuckBlakeman on Tue, 09/08/2009 - 09:56.

So many new businesses fail, and worse yet, almost all of them stagnate and struggle along for years - don't be "that guy". ...Don't become a statistic!

I'm supporting the mission of the Rockies Venture Club / Angel Capital Summit to help your new business survive and thrive. I'm very involved with helping put on the Angel Capital Summit on November 17th at the Colorado Convention Center, which was the largest event of its kind in the nation last year, and we expect it to double to 1,000 people this year.

But it's not about just that one day conference. We will be providing guidance to small businesses long before and throughout the year after the Angel Capital Summit. To that end Rockies Venture Club and the Angel Capital Summit is starting our weekly series of free Business Clinics, bringing the best and brightest business experts directly to you and your key partners.

This is the ‘virtual ACS’, which is a rolling series of online seminars presented by and for entrepreneurs, advisors and investors. You can't afford to miss this opportunity to solve problems, educate and guide your staff through today's unique business challenges.
