To Meet the Money

I have attended business seminars and conferences in the past, some of which I paid a lot of money for. I feel I got great value from the bootcamp put on by Meet the Money. There were guest speakers, bonus free gifts, and heaps and heaps of good information. I feel like no matter how this project turns out for me, this has been a great learning experience for me. I take away a new experience and some new business contacts and friends. Highly valuable experience, I'd do it again in a second.

Thank you very much for the bootcamp! I learned a ton and got very excited (and slightly overwhelmed) by it all :)

I am still amazed at how much I learned during the MTM Business Bootcamp in such a short time! The facilitators were knowledgeable, down to earth, and generously shared their knowledge with us. I am excited about the prospect of making a pitch and the opportunities that an investor might provide, but despite the outcome of that process, I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and met some great people. I feel very fortunate for having been selected and grateful to these women for their time, energy and advice!

Hi All,
I would like to thank all of you at Meet the Money - Entrepreneurs helping entrepreneurs. I am very excited to be a part of this process. Even though it has been a short time period I have learned a lot and have dropped about 20 lbs of naïvety. The boot camp was extremely informative, particularly the section on making the deal and defining the "ask" The business plan outline is helpful and the guest speakers' contributions were timely and valuable.

I appreciate the opportunity to make a presentation to an investor group and whatever the outcome, the coaching, support, contacts and experience will be invaluable. I definitely would recommend this process to others

It is a wonder how any small business got off the ground without a "business bootcamp." Meet The Money's program offered in one day, the answers I have searched for for many months.

As someone with no schooling in Business, and very little experience in the field, I really appreciated the Business Bootcamp put on by Meet the Money. They really covered a lot of information and tried to make our day as robust as possible. It's not easy facing potential investors, but I feel better equipped now having gone through this bootcamp.

The Bootcamp was very motivational and inspiring. The four ladies who put this together are knowledgeable about what they are doing. They are also very encouraging and patient with all our questions they probably all have run into before.

The guest speakers were all very nice. We also got a latest copy of Quickbook from Intuition. That was really generous.

This is also a wonderful experience for me to meet successful entrepreneurs and fellow new entrepreneurs. Whether I am going to be selected by the investors or not, I feel very grateful to have this opportunity to go to this Bootcamp.

The Meet the Money Business Bootcamp provided an unbelievable opportunity to learn from a panel of experts who have "Walked a mile in our shoes" and know what it takes to start a business from scratch. The information that was provided gave great insight from both the prospective of the investor looking for a return and the business looking for someone to provide a valuable source of funding. Having the opportunity listen to a seasoned venture capitalist explain exactly what attributes he looks for in a prospective investment deal was defiantly one of the biggest highlights of the entire Meet the Money experience. Meet the Money pushed our business out of the box and helped us shift our thoughts to much bigger business possibilities. Thank you to everyone who has made this opportunity possible.

Dear Johanna, Laura, Angela and Carissa

I certainly want to express my appreciation for allowing EzSeer to participate in the Meetthemoney Boot Camp. However, at this point in the development of EzSeer, securing funding from an Angel investor is not the resource that we need. Our current priority is to find an Angel Customer.

We think it would be unfair to the other entrepreneurs to compete for funds that might be of greater benefit to them. At this time we would prefer to bow out of the competition.

As an expression of our gratitude, please find a testimonial to MTM which we have placed on the University of Alberta's Technology Commercialization Centre Blog.

Again, I do want to thank you for your mentorship of fledgling entrepreneurs, including ourselves. Best of luck to all of you and Meetthemoney.
