The @VENTURE Series is a new entrepreneur program specially tailored to address real issues and real challenges of today's entrepreneurs, and the ‘adventures’ of building organizations. Our objectives are to help entrepreneurs build successful businesses and foster closer professional networks among their peers.

The @VENTURE Series focuses on the mechanics of building a successful business, whether it's the blocks-and-tackles of dealing with legal issues, the soft skills necessary to build relationships, or navigating the minefield or raising venture capital. The program is designed to provide the serious entrepreneur with a stronger grasp of the materials through in-depth discussion seminars.

The @VENTURE Series will span several months. Each event will occur over an intensive 3 to 4 hours session; each session covering two selected topics that are commonly faced by entrepreneurs, from boot-strapping to beyond Series A.

The premier event of the CSPA @VENTURE Series in June exceeded our own expectations, with nearly 2/3 of the audience being hard-core entrepreneurs. Our 2nd event in the series will address one of the most sought after topics for every entrepreneur: “Raising Money”.

The two panels on @VENTURE 2, scheduled for the morning of August 16^th, will cover:

• Session 1: Touched by Angels – Raising your Seed Funding
• Session 2: Series A – Stepping into the Big League
