Raising capital? Here’s another opportunity to consider.
It's VC Immersions, a curated venture program that returns May 14 to Bentonville, AR.
If you are a start-up raising capital, this is an opportunity that might be something you should consider.
It’s VC Immersions, a curated venture program that returns May 14 to Bentonville, AR. As the promotional material says, the one-day event connects high-potential start-ups with top-tier investors in a way that accelerate funding and relationships. It is high-quality, high-volume investor engagement—engineered for maximum impact.
An initiative of StartupNWA, an undertaking of the Northwest Arkansas Council, applications are being accepted from start-ups located anywhere. To apply by the April 7 deadline, click on this link.
The promotional materials also note that founders outside major tech hubs have struggled to break into venture capital (VC) networks. “It’s not about talent – it’s about access. The old VC model doesn’t work for founders building in the Heartland, the Midwest, or anywhere beyond the costs. Raising capital isn’t just about pitching – it’s about getting in the right rooms, with the right investors, at the right time. VC Immersions is designed to make that happen.”
As of late March, about 22 venture firms from 12 states have committed to attending. Together, the firms represent more than $1.63 billion in assets under management. They include eight from California, two from New York City, and more regional firms like Render Capital from Louisville, KY, and Tech Square Ventures from Atlanta, GA.
