"The Venture Forum is an excellent event for both our institution and the quality
of clients we serve. The whole practice, including preparation, presentation, networking
agenda and the format made Larta stand out from the many other arrangements within
the industry."

"...By offering training and collaborative opportunities for these scientists, institutes
and spin-off companies, the Larta Global Bridge program has provided them with unique
experiences that will help them move toward the key program goal of economic sustainability
in civilian-oriented pursuits. From the outset, the attractiveness of the program
stemmed from an appealing combination of strategic mentoring of start-up businesses
and the opportunity to exhibit at a major U.S. investment/partnering forum. Larta—in
alliance with the U.S. Industry Coalition and the Foundation for Russian American
Economic Cooperation—succeeded in providing critical inputs that gave the companies
a vision of the additional development they needed to successfully commercialize
their technology in the global market. The companies learned the significance of
addressing market size and competition (differentiation) in their business pitch
and making a clear statement about what they are seeking from a partner to move
their business forward. In addition to their formal presentations, the participants
networked actively with potential investors and in one case a company actually signed
a non-disclosure agreement."
