Mid-Atlantic Diamond Ventures Fall 2025 Venture Forum

Thursday, September 18 • 1:00 – 6:00 p.m. ET

Troutman Pepper Locke is proud to host the Mid-Atlantic Diamond Ventures (MADV) Fall Forum on Thursday, September 18, 2025.

Join us as emerging information technology, SaaS, life science, physical science, and other innovation-based emerging firms present their investment opportunities to qualified investors. All firms have been thoroughly vetted and intensively coached to ensure their presentations contain all information angels and early-stage VCs require. Presenting firms are characterized by proven technologies, large potential markets, defensible IP, potential for rapid growth, strategic and sound revenue models and more. MADV is a program of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Institute at Temple University.

What to Expect:

• Compelling Pitches: The MADV board works closely with presenting companies to ensure that presentations are compelling and that they contain the information so important to investors: Value Proposition, Competitive Position, Market Opportunity, Financials, and Terms.
• Tailored Networking Opportunities: MADV goes beyond traditional networking sessions by offering tailored networking opportunities designed to facilitate meaningful connections among attendees.
• Strategic Partner Collaborations: MADV collaborates with strategic partners, such as academic institutions, corporate sponsors, and economic development organizations, to enrich the live event experience and provide additional value to attendees.
• The Benefit of Attending: Connect with presenting companies, investors, and angel groups to advance your networking and expand your opportunities.
• Access to Promising Investment Opportunities: Attending the presentations allows you to gain firsthand exposure to innovative startups and emerging companies seeking investment.
• Networking and Relationship Building: The forum provides a conducive environment for networking with fellow investors, entrepreneurs, industry experts, and key stakeholders.
