*LATEST UPDATE: Our 2012 program is in the works. Please stay tuned!


About the Program

In an age of information overload where getting in front of the right investors and potential strategic partners is harder than ever, where do you go to find the support you need to build the next iRobot, Zipcar, Constant Contact, or Achillion?

We know how to help investment-ready women-led companies raise capital to scale BIG.
Springboard's Venture Forums are designed to promote and showcase investment-ready, high-growth companies led by women.  And after 10 years of presenting over 400 businesses that have raised over $5B in capital, we've figured out the secret to overcoming the hurdles startups face when trying to raise capital: building relationships.  Click here to learn more about our Venture Forum process.
