Growth Capital Conference gets off to a brisk start this coming Thursday, January 30 at the Olympic Collection.
Growth Capital Conference (GCC) provides an opportunity for startup entrepreneurs to present their deals to a seasoned group of investors.
This session, six deals will be presented:
The first is an AI/SaaS platform for law firms, which automates file intake, and eliminates file transfers. This cuts overhead for the law firm and reduces client bills. The company is pursuing a recurring revenue model. The company is a proven profit generator with explosive
growth potential
The second company will present a system that automates residential real estate sales, reducing costs for both buyers and sellers – and increasing profits for brokers.
The third presentation will come from a team that has built an AI platform that supports global market expansion for client firms. “Competing with the giants” opens worldwide markets to smaller firms.
Fourth, a company that builds patented industrial process controls and hardware. Current customer base includes major international firms. The company is generating 90% profit margins
The fifth deal will be presented by a media innovator that conquers local markets with 300 customers. The company is ready for a national launch and projects high margins. CEO has four exits with major VC firms.
The sixth deal comes from a medical device manufacturer that detects potential Preterm Births (PTB). PTBs represent 10% of pregnancies, resulting in early death or lifelong crippling diseases. This revolutionary device will save millions of lives and billions of dollars in annual medical costs.
