"We are delighted by KBW’s success,” commented Summit producer Tim Platt. “The compelling parallel here is that while the Inc. 500 are changing the world today, our goal is for Speed Venture Summit companies to be changing the world 5-10 years from now. In each case, they are developing and delivering new products that change the way we do business and live our lives.”
KBW Financial Staffing & Recruiting specializes in temporary, temporary-to-hire, and direct placements of accounting and finance professionals in Southern New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts. Founded in 2005, KBW has developed a thriving staffing organization that places an immeasurable worth on customer relations. These relationships are based on the company's core values: integrity, honesty, trust and respect.
Jason Kroll, President of KBW, explained that, “We are very proud of the success of the KBW team, who have individually and collectively helped our clients grow their businesses by finding and placing the right candidates to meet and exceed their needs. It is important to what we do to sponsor the Speed Venture Summit™, because SVS companies will be the source of new technologies and future job growth in New Hampshire and the region. We are proud to be associated with the SVS platform.”
At the October Summit, participating businesses will represent all sectors and development stages, from start-up to later-stage and will “speed pitch” to the region’s savviest and shrewdest investors, ranging from individuals and Angels to venture capital firms and private equity and mezzanine financers. Organizers expect that a total of approximately 50 companies will speed-pitch to 25 different investor groups in private 1:1 sessions throughout the afternoon.
The “speed-pitching” segment of the Summit will be held from 2:00 to 5:00pm, and will be followed by a two-hour business networking session open to the public that will provide an excellent opportunity for young companies to gain exposure and knowledge around seeking investment capital. The event will end with a pitch-off from among the day’s top companies.
