Title:
Inv£storQuest Investment Challenge
Summary:
Entries for the 2009 Inv£storQuest Investment challenge are now open
The aim of the challenge is to encourage people seeking early-stage funding and business support to put their ideas forward.
Main body:

Inv£storQuest is a rare opportunity to put your proposition in front of venture capital investors. It can normally take hundreds of emails, phone calls, letters etc to get in front of one single VC. Inv£storQuest gives you the chance to present to up to four VCs in one day.


This challenge is exclusively for innovative high growth and technology entrepreneurs in the Yorkshire and Humberside region and offers access to investment from a group of venture capital funds. The aim of the challenge is to encourage people seeking early-stage funding and business support to put their ideas forward. As they say: nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The funds involved so far are the Viking Fund, YFM Group and Aquarius Equity Partners.


In addition each presenter will have the chance of winning up to £1000 of top level Intellectual Property, Accountancy or Legal advice from three of our Sponsors (£3000 in total). The winners will be selected by the panel of VCs. 


If you have a great idea that just needs funding to get off the ground please fill in an application form online today; www.connectyorkshire.org


Deadline for receipt of applications: 4th September
