Presenting your Technology at the WBTshowcase 2008

Does Your Company or Technology Qualify?

WHEN: March 26-27, 2008
WHERE: Arlington-DFW

Now in its sixth year, the WBTshowcase continues to bring together the most active seed-stage venture investors and Fortune 500 licensing scouts from coast to coast, connecting them with the most promising pre-screened, and mentored technologies ready for licensing & investment capital.

Often we are asked if a specific technology or company is the right "fit" for the Showcase. Ideally, attending investors and licensees seek technologies that are "disruptive" in nature. That is, the underlying technology or innovation can realistically create new markets or materially change an existing market. To get a sense of how your technology or company might match the interests of participating venture investors and Fortune 500 licensees, I would encourage you to view summary descriptions of past presenters - over 300 companies and research institutions - that have since raised over $400 Million in private equity or succeeded in licensing their technologies.

If you are seriously seeking first round private equity or a licensing partner with a Fortune 500 company, the WBTshowcase offers you the opportunity to get exposed to the most active investors and licensees right from the start - with the review of a brief, online submission - at no cost. If you are selected, you will then have the opportunity to work with a team of mentors in refining your investor-oriented presentation to prepare you for an event where approximately half of those visiting booths are bonafide investors and licensees.
