Venture Starters - Investors & Founders Community

Business Development Advisor / Venture Advisor

Co-founded Venture Starters together with the serial entrepreneur Mark November.

We launched Venture Starters about three months ago with the idea that networking is the key to the success of every startup and early-stage company.

Mark November has been investing in startups for more than 45 years and while the first 25 years were investing in his own ideas, the next 20 years have been about others'.

Venture Starters is where the people who start ventures can meet every Wednesday night for a large-scale zoom meeting with up to 500 attendees.

We just got started and we are pleased that we have over 100 attendees most nights. We plan to grow the community and attendance this fall to even greater heights!

Generally, we have 25 startups do a 2-minute elevator pitch and investors ask a few questions.

The actual networking happens in the Chat section where all attendees can reach out to each other including the founders who give 2-minute elevator pitches. 

It’s working!

One of the early-stage companies who gave a 2-minute elevator pitch to raise $1M - $3M during the last two Wednesday events had 15 people reach out to him. 15! 

And the Venture Starters community is growing daily!

Our Venture Starters company page on Linkedin has over 2200 followers and we are getting between 1 or 2 new ones every hour, 24 hours a day. This means that we will probably reach 3,000 within the next 30-45 days. 5,000 is not far behind. 

Venture Starters events are open to the public and free to attend. You can register at www.VentureStarters.com.
