"“CLEAN BUSINESS” "

INVESTMENT SUMMIT

Venue TBD

Santa Barbara, CA

Watch our space as we transition to “CLEAN BUSINESS” .

The CCVF Venture Forum will continue with a broad focus on CLEAN BUSINESS.

Invitations to our next EVENT will extend to Socially Responsible Investors (SRIs) including institutional, venture and angel investors, research and “CLEAN BUSINESS” leaders, funded companies, CEOs, and Clean Business service providers and those interested in understanding “CLEAN BUSINESS” . .

The event will consist of networking opportunities, company presentations, exhibits, lunch and panel discussions, followed by a reception.

The California Coast Venture Forum (CCVF) is transitioning into “CLEAN BUSINESS” and intends to become the "How-To... Facilitator" where Socially Responsible Entrepreneiur (SREs) & Socially Responsible Companies (SRCs) can meet and interface with qualified Socially Responsible Investors (SRIs).In the past, the CCVF has successfully assisted emerging growth and later stage companies raise over $110 million in capital investments from private equity, venture capital and angel investors.

We intend to continue this worth while endeavor with a concentration on SREs. CCVF reviews and selects SREs/SRCs with sound “CLEAN BUSINESSTM” plans and helps them obtain funding. Those SREs/SRCs selected to present at the “CLEAN BUSINESSTM” INVESTMENT SUMMIT receive professional mentoring from CCVF Advisory Board Members as they prepare their presentations. The CCVF mentoring process will include an opportunity for the SRE/SRC to meet leading experts in their industry.

The California Coast Venture Forum is a non-profit organization whose mission is to facilitate the interaction between qualified entrepreneurs and leading investors, service providers and sponsors to maximize the opportunity to secure growth funding.
