Testimonials

“Spectacular two days. The honest dialog between founders of companies and private capital is powerful.”

Thomas Reardon

Managing Director, Providence Equity

“The hand-picked people that are here are all just absolutely brilliant. It’s really fun and inspiring to be around these people."

Tony Summerville

Founder & CEO, Fleetio

“I would absolutely recommend that entrepreneurs attend this event. It’s a great way to make connections with potential investors and meet other CEOs. You’re going to learn a ton about metrics that you should be looking at, get great ideas on how to grow your business, how to grow the sales team, how to figure out marketing – you’re going to get a ton of information out of it.”

Bill Smith

CEO, Shipt

“The caliber of people you meet in this intimate setting is unmatched to any event I’ve been to.”

Jeff Gale

CEO, TicketBiscuit

“Prior to coming to these events, I had never had any interaction with private equity, so being able to actually meet the people and spend more than an hour in a meeting with them, and getting to know them on a personal level is helpful to see that they’re real people and they’re great for business.”
