Venture Capital investment is on a clear shift following an investment
decline. VC's are looking at other industries to put their money to work for a
faster return on their investment. Join PricewaterhouseCoopers and a
distinguished panel as they provide insight into the state of venture capital
investment and provide an insight view of where the money is headed to
now.
This program will kick-off with an overview of venture capital investment,
including findings from the MoneyTree Report from
PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association
