Nashua, NH, October 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Comcast Business Class, a leading provider of communications services for small and medium-sized businesses, has signed on as the Gold Sponsor of the Speed Venture Summit™ (SVS) 2009. SVS is the premier speed-dating-style event for fast-growth businesses and investors in New England, and will be held on Wednesday October 28, 2009, at the Crowne Plaza in Nashua, New Hampshire.
“We’re proud to support The Speed Venture Summit™ because of its focus on emerging businesses,” said Peter Marsh, Vice President of Business Services for Comcast’s Greater Boston Region. “Comcast Business Class is ready to deliver these deserving companies an array of smart, efficient, scalable Internet, Voice and TV offerings to meet their needs as they grow.”
“Comcast has developed compelling communications solutions for small business,” Summit producer Tim Platt noted. “Entrepreneurs and busy executives want versatile, next-generation broadband capacity to communicate with their customers, vendors and investors while receiving first-class business service.”
“Comcast’s sponsorship underscores the mission-critical role that the Summit plays in helping companies grow,” Platt continued. “The Speed Venture Summit has rapidly become the one event in New England that CEOs and CFOs of the region’s hottest companies must attend.”
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.
