Tell me a little bit about the Investment Capital Conference, and in particular, whats the Capital Zone?
David Cremin: The ICC is the longest running, largest and most successful investment conference in Los Angeles. The conference is all about capital for companies from startup, through growth and middle market, to exit. We generally host around 1,000 capital providers, entrepreneurs and others; This year Rudy Giuliani is going to deliver a very inspiring keynote address to the conference, about which I am thrilled. The Capital Zone, which occurs in the afternoon of the conference, is a room full of over $60 billion managed by over 70 investment capital funds, each of which has brought with them officers from companies in their respective portfolios that are seeking additional capital of all different varieties (growth, debt, pipe, etc). Add the rest of the conference attendees to this mix and you have a very focused and deliberate investment capital “engine” that can be very efficient and catalyze terrific investment opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors.
