Service Provider & Investor Forums: June 2016

Members of the Telecom Council's Service Provider and Investor Forums meet quarterly to hear startup pitches and to discuss current trends. This quarter, we will introduce 7 - 9 pre-screened startups to the carrier, vendor, and telecom VC community. Dialogue before and after presentations, during breaks, and over lunch ensures that all participants have an opportunity to connect.

About this Quarterly Meeting:

To connect carriers who are investing time, energy, and/or capital into telecom startups with the larger telecom-focused venture community – including vendor funds and VCs.
To review pre-qualified telecom startups for new products, services, and investment opportunities.
