NEF 4Oth Anniversary Party!

The New Enterprise Forum is an all-volunteer organization of experienced service providers, entrepreneurs and executives who coach start-up companies to perfect their investor pitches. The coaching is provided at no-cost to the entrepreneur. We critique and provide insights on the pitch’s content, including both business and investor perspectives to help the team succeed.  We also help the company connect with local and regional investors and other resources.  The start-up then has the opportunity to present their pitch to the entrepreneurial community at one of the NEF’s monthly Forum meetings, with follow-on distribution of their Executive Summary to the NEF’s curated list of investors.For more than 30 years, NEF has coached over 370 companies. To read the story of how we got started and what’s happened including a year by year summary of companies coached, awards given, and rosters of NEF Board members, go to About NEF page on our website and download the NEF 30-Year Book illustrating our history of coaching, perfecting, and connecting.To learn more about NEF and join us, please visit ourwebsite.
