"Cap Con" is one of the largest venture capital conferences on the East Coast — a dynamic platform where innovation meets investment. For over 30 years, the conference has connected emerging growth companies, investors, advisors, and corporate leaders from across the region. It's a powerful launchpad for startups seeking capital, visibility, and strategic connections.
With 1,000+ attendees over two days and 45 pitching companies, Cap Con culminates in the Lion's Den, our version of Shark Tank, where real dollars are invested and real deals are made.
