Welcome to Investors Choice®

On February 7, 2008, Wayne Brown Institute (WBI), will host the 24th Annual Investors Choice® Venture Capital Conference at the Zermatt Resort & Spa in Midway, Utah in the heart of the Wasatch mountains, and just 15 minutes away from a jet capable airport. This event provides opportunities for high-growth companies to participate in the venture capital process as investors meet with companies seeking capital. The Wayne Brown Institute is the oldest and most successful not-for-profit venture accelerator in the country. The Institute’s 650+ alumni companies have gone on to raise almost $2 billion USD in private equity since 1983. Companies such as Omniture, Hoku Scientific, Sonic Innovations, and Altiris are WBI alumni and past presenters. Come see why this conference gets a 90%+ "I'll be back" approval rating by investors, entrepreneurs and service professionals.

Entrepreneurs, this is your invitation to learn the venture process, build a fundraising presentation, and meet with venture, corporate, and angel investors. If your company has or is near sales and/or previous investment, a strong management team, proprietary technology, and has a credible expectation of doing $30-$100 million USD a year in sales in 3-7 years, you should submit an application to this conference.

Investors, come see some of the hottest deals in one of the country's hottest venture markets - Utah. Meet great companies, mingle with your peers, perhaps even find new LP investors for that next Fund. Take a mini vacation at Utah's newest and one of its top resorts - Zermatt Resort & Spa.
