Early Stage Investment Forum 2008
May 9, 2008
Each year the Northwest Entrepreneur Network puts on the largest investment forum in the Northwest. This year was no different. This year’s 8th annual Early Stage Investment Forum where 27 early stage companies had the opportunity to pitch to investors on May 9 at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center was a tremendous success. As promised, this year was even better than last year.
