Moderator, Jerry W. Guillott CPA, BDO
“Mazel tov on excellent event last week. Honestly, I came as a skeptic (as you know, I have a few degrees from MIT, and find most tech events in HF space sorely lacking) but I even came for both days (which I honestly hadn’t intended, as my commute is 2.5 hours each way). Congrats again. What’s the phrase: may you go from strength to strength?”
Attendee, Family Office member
“We ended up being much more successful in fundraising at the event than I would have expected. We raised nearly $200,000 from folks we met at your event that day. There are others who have wanted to invest more than $1,000,000 but we had to turn them away because we were not raising that much. So it was a big success for us…… Given our success, we would absolutely love to get more involved in future DC finance events and sponsor future events and get involved in your organization”
Sponsor, Dooma Wendschuh, Province Brands of Canada

Attendee, Ralph Hunkins, Real Revenue Ventures
“I wish to thank you for your assistance leading up to the April 5 meeting, which was particularly well run. I was particularly pleased that the audience was limited primarily to investors and presenting companies, and that service providers and people seeking employment were largely excluded. The presentation formats were appropriate and effective. Our company presentation went well, and we have a few leads for potential investors to follow up. All in all, the meeting was successful.”
Sponsor, Richard Russo, Endomedix Inc.

“Partnering with DCF both in Miami and most recently in NYC has been an unbelievable experience. Your team was incredibly accommodating and the introductions that were made were priceless. It is so refreshing to attend an event that is not only riveting in topics but entertaining and so well organized”
Sponsor, Leena Guverich, GHURKA
“I thought this was a very good quality meeting both on the panel discussions and the companies that presented and certainly lot more serious meeting than some of the others for family offices that I attended that we full of vendors “pestering” both the companies and the investors. I would have liked to have seen a life sciences panel discussion so perhaps a suguestion for the next time. I am always in Miami for Art Basel so would be fun to get involved in that meeting.”
