At this year's event, held in Burlingame, Calif., eight entrepreneurs were allotted four minutes each to present their business ideas and market opportunities to an audience of early-stage venture capital and angel investors. The panel of distinguished venture capitalists rated each entrepreneur on presentation content and style. The annual event gives select entrepreneurs valuable access to possible funding sources, as well as real-time constructive feedback regarding their business plans.
