There will also be time allocated later in the day to talk directly with the investors.
You are invited to submit a 2 to 3 page (maximum) PDF of your Executive Summary of your business plan for consideration by a selection committee of investors and business people. The most promising 12 – 15 business opportunities will present on October 18. Executive Summaries should be submitted as PDF only by email no later than September 29 to pitchfest@fuse2005.com.
Presenting companies will be notified by the close of business on October 7, 2005 or earlier.
