About
Invest Southwest and the Venture Capital Conference in the Rockies (VCIR) are partnering together to form the premier capital conference in the Southwest. This year’s event connects the region’s most promising startups and emerging growth companies with an audience of hundreds of venture investors, entrepreneurs and service professionals. Investors and venture capitalists from all over the globe will gather to see the “Best of the Southwest” present their business plans and investment opportunities. Presenting companies of Invest Southwest have received more than a quarter billion in investment dollars since the inception in 1992 and companies that have presented at VCIR over the past 10 years have collectively generated nearly $5 billion in exit value for their stakeholders.
In November, investors and venture capitalists from across the country will gather at the J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix to see the “Best of the Southwest” present their business plans and investment opportunities. The event also includes a nationally recognized keynote speaker, investor seminar, presenting company forum and exhibit booths, and a variety of networking events. For accredited investors only.

Why Attend Invest Southwest/VCIR Fall 2011?
Invest Southwest and VCIR present the “Best of the Southwest,” companies seeking capital that have been rigorously screened by a panel of investors and venture capitalists from across the southwest. These companies are ready for investment, and have participated in a competitive application process and an extensive mentoring period in anticipation of their conference presentation.
Invest Southwest and VCIR provides an excellent opportunity for accredited investors to review quality companies, while enjoyed the warm Arizona winter and endless sunshine. Guests can also stay through the week and play a round of golf at the Wildfire Gold Course or hike Phoenix’s Piestewa Peak.
