Looks like a good week to raise capital in Vancouver with a series of events including Vancouver Enterprise Forum’s Venture Capital Outlook 2009 on Tuesday January 27th.  Find out the current investment climate for tech companies and strategies you can use plus the usual networking and Lightning Talks.

We highly recommend this event if you’re looking to raise capital this year as the speaker line-up is very strong and other investors will be in-house.  Practice your pitch and we will see you there.

fundfindr.tv is pleased to bring you an online replay of the event afterward so you can see the highlights again and retain the knowledge gained.     Like to be notified of this Event worth sharing? Subscribe to our feeds:

fundfindr.tv recently had the pleasure of capturing Technology Legend Mossadiq Umedaly in video on behalf of Vancouver Enterprise Forum.  Well worth a riiplay if you attended or just wish to gain insights on pathways to success.

Here is the backgrounder from VEF: Mossadiq is used to doing things big. At Ballard he helped to grow the company value from $10 million to $6 billion. At Xantrex he transformed the company from a small niche player to a world leader in advanced power electronics, with revenues growing from $10 million to $234 million when it was sold to Schneider Electric for $500 million this September. With Jeff Petersen as moderator for our “fireside chat”, he and Mossadiq will talk about the challenges both Ballard and Xantrex faced from their early days through their successful IPOs, Mossadiq’s advice on growing a small company into a major success, his views on strategic partnerships and the evolving alternative energy sector gained as Chair of BC Hydro.

We are pleased to advise that The Pitchies competition is being extended. We will be announcing some exciting news over the next week or so. In our rounds, we determined that pitch competitions of all sorts (live, taped, screencasts, mock and live again) were being held at many events. So rather than just holding another distinct competition, we will be integrating The Pitchies with another event to make it bigger and better.

The wind-up date had originally been scheduled for early November but the new date will be announced soon. Don’t miss your chance to enter for over $20k in great start-up prizes today!
