Two Minute Forum

Two Minute Forum speakers reach a large audience of capitalists, investors, and advisors

We welcome your interest in the Missouri Venture Forum Two-Minute Forum. It is a fantastic opportunity to present your financial needs, acquisition interests, assistance required and/or investment opportunities to capital providers and those with active investor contacts.

Through a Two-Minute MVF presentation you have an efficient way to directly reach 100-plus members and guests at the meeting, plus you will have a display table to showcase your new venture and talk individually with interested members and guests. A summary of your information will appear in the Missouri Venture Forum newsletter, which is sent to our members and potential investors.

Note, you must attend at least one Forum meeting before you make your presentation. If you are a Missouri Venture Forum member, there is no fee to make a Two-Minute Forum presentation. If you or your company join MVF, the $75 will be applied to the first year's dues and your membership date will be the application date.
