Nominations are open -

In partnership, The
BLN
and
Silicon Valley comes to Cambridge (SVC2C), are running a half-day,
workshop for a qualified group of Cleantech and Web CEOs on the
morning of Saturday, 21st November.
This will be an extraordinary opportunity to meet and learn from some of
the leading entrepreneurs and investors in Silicon Valley.
The aims of these sessions are to:
- Provide first-hand support on the financial, legal, marketing and other aspects of running a business.
- Demonstrate the quality of UK entrepreneurs to senior Silicon Valley executives and entrepreneurs, offer insight and thought leadership.
- Stimulate connections and engagement between entrepreneurs and organisations based in the UK and Silicon Valley.
- Additionally, there may be limited opportunities for participants to demonstrate their business to other participants.
We are seeking nominations from CEOs in Cleantech and Web companies in three categories:
- Bootstrapped: No external funding, but incorporated for more than 1 year, have revenues.
- Angel/VC backed: CEO whose company has received funding of at least £ 250,000 from at least one external investor.
- Growth: CEO who has revenues of more than £1 mm p.a. regardless of whether they are backed by external investors.
The process for applying to get involved is as follows:
- Please apply to be considered by 7th November. Referrals can be made by investors, companies themselves or third
parties although you should only apply if you are able to attend the event on 21st November.
- Please note, as places are strictly limited, it is very likely that we will not be able to include all
those CEOs that apply to attend and participate in this event. In this situation, the board of advisers, in collaboration
with Silicon Valley guests will choose companies that they believe will create the biggest impact worldwide from meeting
the guests here from Silicon Valley.
- All applicants will be notified of the status of their applications by end of play on 12th November.
- If we are not able to include applicants in the workshops, we will try to accommodate them at alternative events
in the programme if this is at all possible. (Please note that the first Silicon Valley comes to Cambridge event was
four times oversubscribed).
Whilst the application is simple, we strongly recommend that you give some thought to the application
process - this may be used as the basis for your selection. Only one CEO from any one company can attend.
Good luck - we hope to see you there!
