Firms throw capital pitch – 8 products showcased at Colorado venture-funding conference

From software that manages product referrals to a prescription cream that aids female sexual enhancement, eight products took center stage Tuesday at the 17th annual Colorado Capital Conference at the Marriott City Center.

A total of 250 investors, executives and entrepreneurs were on hand to learn how to attract capital, find a company to invest in and network. The event was hosted by the Rockies Venture Club.

Six businesses seeking "angel" funding – investments of generally less than $1 million – were given a chance to showcase their companies and products to a roomful of venture capitalists in two break out sessions during the day-long event. Two other companies seeking several million in capital also made presentations.

Venture-capital financing is making a rebound in Colorado after a slump at the beginning of the decade.
