FVF’s “state of the industry” panel with Robert Faber
February 3, 2015
Robert Faber (L) discussing our state’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
This past Friday BPV principal Robert Faber helped cap off the 24th annual Florida Venture Capital Conference as part of the “State of the Industry” panel discussion.
The panel covered several topics, including: new non-traditional sources of capital attracted to our state’s (and region’s) attractive business climate, start-up valuations, and how critical it is for an entrepreneur to do his or her homework on potential venture partners.
The Miami Herald reports that all of the panelists were “optimistic about opportunities in 2015” and foresee “a strong year ahead.” We look forward to seeing many of you next year at the Vinoy in St. Petersburg for the 2016 Florida Venture Forum conference.
