Description:
The Roanoke - Blacksburg Technology Council hosts the August Tech and Toast entitled "Financial Resources for Early Stage Tech Companies in Virginia". The Tech and Toast will be presented by Tom Weithman, Center for Innovative Technology and Mark Herzog, VA Biotechnology Association. The attendance cost also includes lunch.

In the last 3 years, the Virginia General Assembly has taken bold steps to support the growth of emerging technology companies, especially those with connections to Virginia's universities. In that time, technology advocates have won passage of bills to incentivize angel investors, benefit tech-investing venture capital firms, match SBIR grants, and pass new tax laws that provide refundable credits for R&D expenses. If you’re operating a technology business with a high potential for growth and economic return, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn about the various financial resources available in Virginia.

Discussion Points and Take-Aways:
1. Contribute to the discussion: What (new) programs would help you and your company in 2012?
2. Hear about new state programs that incentivize angel investors, benefit tech-investing venture capital firms, and match SBIR grants.
3. Get details about the new tax laws that provide refundable credits for R&D expenses
4. Meet the most active investment fund in the Commonwealth.
