Stone Orchard Software is among the participants at the Innovation Synergy Centre Markham’s Summer Training Camp for Entrepreneurs.
The camp is being offered free to young companies just starting out or looking to grow their business. The program will provide tips and tricks on how to attract investors and secure funds in an interactive environment through mentoring and workshops.
The program runs through August and September.
ISCM launched the summer camp to fill a much-needed gap in the marketplace and prepare interested businesses for the organization’s ISCM Money Chase 2008: Investment Forum event, which takes place Oct. 23, von Maydell explained.
The Investment Forum is a unique event in which 24 young businesses – selected from a pool of applicants – that are looking for growth funds will have the opportunity to present their case to a roomful of investors.
Angel investors are primarily self-made, high net-worth individuals who typically invest – or co-invest with other Angels – between $50,000 and $500,000.
They not only bring money to the table, but also a wealth of industry expertise, sometimes taking an active role in the companies they support.
