You Don't. A high impact training retreat is not the setting for making investment decisions. IBI Global attorneys on faculty help mentor attendees on capital compliance, structure, investment banking and more.  Expert meetings with licensed professionals may help CEOs  to structure innovative capital plans, capital supporter teams, and to provide private one one one professional advice, during the program, on a student demand basis. Access to proven capital provider firms and institutions, including investors for virtually any size project, take place as a value of your membership.  The majority of IBI attendee's are not engaged in raising capital during class week. Those who are attending with the capital objective in mind, receive more support than they expected.

IBI Graduates have raised millons of dollars over the years in amounts we can no  longer track as some of the total sums are very large for individual transaction. Investors attend and some of the investors attending have recently sold their ventures for sizable sums.

These results were achieved by follow up through the network over time. It should be pointed out that sophisticated  private investors are attacted to IBI Global events to spot worthy projects in highly diverse industries during a single week of time. Investors like meeting CEOs directly. IBI strongly  discourages investors  from making investments prior to class. Our policy in this area is restated time and time again via Forum Prep pre class training materials, during class, again  in our  written enrollment  contracts, and in post class materials "while the class is in session" via class rules and guidelines, and by the legal faculty on site. Investors seeking to spot attractive opportunities are advised to complete independent  due diligence following the class, and to proceed in all higher risk venturing ONLY after obtaining appropriate legal and expert advice first. IBI is held harmless and indemnified from all member to member transactions, by contract.

Investments are rarely made "at" class as legal compliance and due diligence require follow up. IBI is populated by licensed attorneys who will advise each individual, on legal issues related to the capital questions (with focus groups for your size project from start up to hundreds of millions of dollars)  on a one on one basis. Investments are typically made following IBI classes with third party guidance properly applied. IBI discovers such investments have been made only after the fact, as we are never a party to the transactions.

 Both investors and venture managers appreciate the conservative care taken by IBI legal faculty on the topic of capital. IBI teaches "over compliance" to CEOs coupled to best business practices. IBI notes as an educational facility. IBI does not participate nor does IBI have information related to private dealings of any nature between participants to the IBI Trade show CEO market.
