| Inventor's Fair Submissions Due 3/24 | | | Calling All Inventors! You are invited to submit your product to be considered as a participant in the 2006 Greater Cincinnati Inventor’s Fair, to be held Tuesday, May 16 at the Montgomery Inn Conference Center. The Fair will feature select inventions that represent the creative spirit of today. The 2005 Inventor’s Fair was highly successful. Based on presenting at the Fair, one product is currently in licensing/ funding negotiations. Other benefits attendees say they received include: excellent media coverage; increased credibility; securing new clients; learning what the venture/ angel capital industry looks for; and a general increase in confidence and input from the experience. Please provide a one-page Executive Summary on your patented or patent-pending product, including the following information, no later than Friday,
March 24. You will be notified as to your participation during the week of April 3. If your product is chosen to participate, you will present a 3-minute summary to attendees, including venture & angel capitalists, attorneys, bankers, manufacturers, the media, and others in the product development industry. In order to present, you must attend a short training session on how to present to the investor market. This session will be held the week of April 17. Please include the following in your submission: 1. Your name, company name, contact information; 2. Product name & patent status; 3. Product description: what it is, how it is unique, what problem it solves/benefit it provides; 4. Product/company history and current status; 5. What you’re looking to gain from the Inventor’s Fair, such as funding (how much, uses); planning/development support; contacts; other; and 6. Photo of your product (this can be separate from the one page summary – you must
have at least a working prototype to participate). Thank you for your interest, and good luck! |

| Year In Review | | | Mark Heeson, president of the National Venture Capital
Association, opened the 2005 Year In Review meeting with an overview of the industry. He says although the belief was that after the bubble there would be a dramatic reduction in venture capital firms, this has not happened: as of 2004, the number of firms was the same as in 2001. However, the industry has seen a decrease of about 10% in the number of venture capitalists themselves. |
