Venture is driven by relationships and these are great places to hear new ideas and meet investors, although probably not the best place to whip out your business plan. Typically, to sit down with an investor you have to be vetted through their network and have an idea that meets their investment criteria, which is typically fairly rigorous.

Tip : It is always a good idea to save time on the panel for audience questions. Tip : It is always a good idea to email the other participants in advance with topics of discussion and alert the moderator if you’re worried about the direction it might take. I never would have known him were it not for the LAVA panel.
