The Deal Forum - Who Should Apply?

If you’re looking for your first or additional round(s) of angel capital, the Deal Forum is for you.

Your firm can be a startup or an ongoing concern but cannot have received any institutional (venture capital) investment. To be eligible for the WBI Deal Forum, a successful applicant should have at least the beginnings of a strong management team, a sustainable competitive advantage (i.e., proprietary technology) and a credible expectation of doing $50-$100 million USD a year in sales in 3-7 years.

IT (Information Technology) companies should be relatively quick to cash flow, Life Science companies should have solid intellectual property and if possible some data (even if anecdotal) of efficacy.

Applications are screened by venture investors and industry experts.
