The Tenth InterTradeIreland Venture Capital Conference will build on last year’s event and focus on how to build a first class venture backed business.

The Conference comes at an important time for entrepreneurial businesses.  The current economic environment is the most challenging in decades but there remains equity finance available for the best companies. 

The Conference will showcase the current sources of equity capital (both institutional and the business angel networks) on the Island as well as providing a platform for  two start up companies to tell their stories and include a  practical session on the  ‘do’s and don’ts of approaching a VC’.

Practical examples of companies that have achieved an exit will be a feature of the conference.  Scott Blackstone, Founder of BCO, will tell his story.

There will also be a unique opportunity for Conference delegates to meet with the investors during the networking breaks throughout the day.
