Call for Presenters
The WNYVA is seeking qualified companies to present their investment opportunity at future WNYVA forums.  Presenters make a 10-15 minute presentation
( click here for our suggested business plan presentation outline) followed by 5-10 minutes of questions from the audience.  

Your objective as a presenter is to make some initial contacts and to interest potential investors to the degree that they want to learn more through a follow-up meeting or by reading your business plan.

Screening and Preparation Process
1. All potential presenters must submit a business plan to WNYVA.  The plan can e-mailed to info@wnyventure.com or mailed to:

    Western New York Venture Association
    726 Exchange St., Suite 620   |   Buffalo, NY 14210
    Attn: Jack McGowan

2. The WNYVA's selection committee reviews the business plans and chooses two that it believes will be of most interest to the audience at the next WNYVA forum.

3. 1-2 weeks before the date of the venture forum, the companies that are chosen to present make a practice presentation before the WNYVA's coaching committee.  The presenters receive feedback from the committee to help them refine their presentation.

4. It is the presenter's responsibility to follow up with any potential investors that express interest after seeing the presentation.

The WNYVA does not independently verify the information presented and makes no representations or warranties as to the presenters, the information presented, or any written materials, the merits, risks or suitability of any investment proposed.
