Meet over 30 top venture capitalists who have collectively put over $10
billion to work!

Dear  <http://www.siliconalleydaily.com> Silicon Alley Daily,
<http://www.digitalcoastdaily.com> Digital Coast Daily,
<http://www.ihealthcareweekly.com> iHealthcare Weekly and
<http://www.digitalmusicweekly.com> Digital Music Weekly subscribers 

The climate has changed, the rules have changed, but Venture Capital
investment into high-growth ventures hasn't ceased. And Southern
California continues to evolve as a center for technology-driven
innovation. In the past few months alone, our Digital Coast Daily
publication has tracked billions of dollars worth of investments, and the
growth continues. We'd like to invite you to a special forum designed to
bring together many of the leading firms at the center of this dynamic
region's ongoing development. 

On March 28 and 29 at an exclusive private beach club in Santa Monica,
California, the Digital Coast Venture Capital Summit will explore how
investment strategies have changed and what the new rules are for building
and sustaining successful, technology-intensive businesses. The Digital
Coast Venture Capital Summit will unite over 30 VC firms who collectively
represent billions of dollars in capital, together with senior
decision-makers from high-growth companies, for high-level dialogue about
the trends, issues, and challenges of funding Internet, wireless, and
high-growth ventures. Raising money, particularly after last year's
correction/crash, is a far more challenging process than simply buying a
ticket to a VC matchmaking event ---but it's not impossible. How often do
entrepreneurs and executives get to hear directly from VC's what they
think of the market, and how they're putting their money to work? How
often do you get to hear from 30 of them in two days? 

In addition to providing unprecedented access to capital, the Digital
Coast Venture Capital Summit also features a Best Practices Track packed
with seminars and workshops for both early-stage entrepreneurs, and
executives of established technology ventures dealing with the challenges
of restructuring or later-stage funding rounds. We'll examine how to build
sustainable, scalable and profitable businesses. In this 14-session track
we wll examine critical topics including real estate, talent acquisition
and retention, accounting solutions, marketing and PR, legal issues
specific to startups, and more. 

Due to space limitations at this private beachfront venue, admission is
limited -- to guarantee your place at The Digital Coast Venture Capital
Summit, register online today at  <http://www.venturecapitalsummit.com/>
www.venturecapitalsummit.com. We look forward to welcoming you to this
very special event! 

All the best,
