Find The Money Trade Show
for Arizona

Arizona is filled with entrepreneurs and businesses that need help in preparing for and finding capital. Our company, Profit Dynamics Inc., the Arizona Department of Commerce, and Thunderbird, The American Graduate School of International Management are assisting those entrepreneurs and businesses by presenting Find The Money Trade Show tm from 8:00 AM to approximately noon, November 30, 2000, at the Thunderbird Activity Center, 15249 N. 59th Ave., Glendale, AZ 85306.

Find The Money Trade Show tm is not a venture capital conference where prescreened and coached companies present to venture capitalists and private investors. It is not meant to compete with either the AZSOFT.net "Investing in Innovations" conference or the Arizona Venture Capital Conference. In fact, AZSOFT.net and The Arizona Venture Capital Conference will be exhibitors at the Find The Money show.

Want to find out more?

Instead of a few selected entrepreneurs presenting to potential investors, and capital sources, we're turning the tables. We're bringing the financing sources to the entrepreneurs.

The objective of Find The Money Trade Show tm is to educate entrepreneurs and businesses in the areas of what financing options are available and appropriate for them. What the financing sources are and where they are. And to have the financial resources and professional service providers right there at the show to answer questions, provide financing options and just generally discuss how they can help the entrepreneurs.
