BNC Brings Together Mentors, Service Providers, Entrepreneurs & Accredited Investors

Len Bland and Loren Minkus of Concept Equity Group lead the BNC Venture Forum. Each month three (this month two) companies routinely present in the BNC format, aiming to deliver the information investors require to make good decisions. BNC’s leadership and our extensive network of talented mentors work with presenters to ensure they deliver a quality experience to our investor audiences.

BNC Believes Effective Startup Founder Presentations Answer 6 Questions:

• What's the product or service?
• Why will the customer buy it?
• What's AMAZING about the management team?
• How does the company make money?
• What traction does the company have?
• How does the investor make money?

Each presentation lasts 10 minutes and will be followed by a 15- 20 minute structured Q & A with the audience, surrounding the six questions. Attendees will be able to "raise" their hands to ask questions and or respond after clicking on the participants or emotions icon in ZOOM and then clicking on the raise hand icon.

At the end of the meeting we will have "breakout rooms" set up to "meet" the entrepreneurs.
