Las Vegas company to present at national investor’s forum
Seventeen startup companies, including one from Las Vegas, will present their business cases before investors at the 14th annual New Mexico Equity Capital Symposium sponsored by Technology Ventures Corporation, May 9-10, in Albuquerque. The annual forum provides investors throughout the U.S. and abroad the opportunity to invest in companies that are commercializing cutting-edge technologies developed in the national laboratories, universities and other research institutions. 
“The TVC Symposium has grown over the years, and so has its popularity with entrepreneurs and investors,” said Sherman McCorkle, president and CEO of Technology Ventures Corporation. “The increased interest in the Symposium is a direct result of the high caliber of presenters who continue to impress attending investors every year.”
This year’s presenters were selected from a pool of 63 applicants who submitted their business plans for consideration. They are now working with TVC project managers and teams of advisors to refine their business case, further develop the business plan and package their funding proposal. At the May event, each entrepreneur will have 10 minutes on stage to present the company’s business case to the assembled investors.
