37th Annual Investors Choice

February 26, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm MST

The 37th Investor Choice Conference is a pitch event in which emerging CEO’s will pitch their startups following several weeks of mentoring.

The theme of this years’ conference is Hope. As we emerge from an extended period of uncertainty, what are the things we can do to promote recovery and realize growth.

Investors Choice Alumni companies have gone on to raise over $1.2 billion in angel/venture capital and over $10 billion in exits M&A/IPO since 2009. Over our 37 year history, 80% of our Alumni have either been acquired or are still in business. This is a great conference to find deal-flow as well as to make new connections and hope you will join us.
