American Business Association of Russian Professionals

Please come to the next AmBAR event which will take place on Wednesday, May 12, 2004.

This forum is aimed at entrepreneurs who are currently seeking or planning to raise capital for their start-ups. The key objective of this event is to help make fundraising more focused and effective. This is a great chance for aspiring entrepreneurs to learn first hand how to pass through selection hurdles during the informal dialogue with a panel of top notch venture capitalists and angel investors.

You're welcome to come even if you're not an aspiring entrepreneur. The information you receive may help you to evaluate your next startup job.

To maximize your benefit from of this meeting and to ensure that no question remains unanswered we invite you to submit us your questions or suggestions at Litvak@stanford.edu. Panel moderator will make sure that you get answers from the panel. As usual, after the panel we'll have a networking session with local wine and Russian food where you can continue a friendly face-to-face with the panelists.
