The founders of DreamIt have been investing in early stage companies since they sold the companies they started. In the last few years we have become enthusiastic about how quickly and inexpensively great companies can be launched. At the same time we have seen some very talented people with great ideas struggle to pull the pieces together and get over the startup hump. With the help and support of entrepreneurs, technologists, prominent law and accounting firms, angel investor groups and venture capital firms, DreamIt Ventures was born.
Our goal at DreamIt is simple: Help great people with great ideas build great companies.
We're searching for bright, energetic people with great ideas. We will supply the support needed to build the next great company. More specifically, we will supply:
- Seed Funding
- Mentors and Advisors who have "been there and done it" before
- Free legal, accounting and administrative help to form your company properly
- Introductions to funding sources (including Angel Investors, Venture Capitalists, private investors and public sources of funding) for your first round of financing
If you have a great idea and want to build a great company submit an Innovator Application by March 12, 2008. If we like your idea, you'll be invited to visit us in the Philadelphia area the weekend of April 5th, 2008. During this weekend we will make the final selection of companies to be invited to participate in DreamIt. If you are invited and accept, you will participate in DreamIt '08, a 3-month program that runs from May 21, 2008 through August 22, 2008. During that time you will receive seed funding, mentoring, education and finally on Funding Day, a chance to present to VCs, private investors and other funding sources.
In some cases Innovators may have great technical knowledge but might like to work with someone with great business skills. Accordingly, we also are accepting Strategist Applications -- from people with strong business skills who are interested in working fulltime during the Summer with a DreamIt Company.
