Our quarterly Telecom Council Investor Forum serves 3 main purposes:

To connect Service Provider members who are investing time, energy, and often capital into telecom startups to the larger telecom-focused venture community. Our quarterly participants include our SPiF members (from AT&T to Vodafone and from DoCoMo to SK Telecom), the telecom vendor community (from Intel Capital and Qualcomm Ventures to Nokia Growth Partners and Sony).

To review pre-qualified telecom startups for new products and services, and investment opportunities

To initiate dialogue and relationships between all the investors in telecom - including the carriers, the vendors, the VCs, and the entrepreneurs.

Attendees should expect to see 6-8 presenting startups, each with 15-20 minutes to address the Investor Forum. Dialogue before and after presentations, during breaks, and over lunch ensures that all participants have an opportunity to connect.

We maintain the executive and intimate nature of these events by making them available only to our Telecom Council Investor Forum members and their guests.

A description of the Investor Forum and membership options can be found at www.telecomcouncil.com.
