    Screening Committee

    October 2025

    Join the RVC Screening Committee to review and select pitch applications for the upcoming Women's Investor Network Investor Forum. Each cycle, RVC receives over 100 applications for the opportunity to present to our network of investors. The RVC team then selects the top applicants for each cycle to discuss with investor members during the screening committee meetings.

    During this session, we will be screening applications from all industries, including but not limited to Technology, Cleantech, and Life Sciences. For this investor forum, applicants must have a female co-founder/executive to be considered for selection. We encourage you to join us whether you are an industry expert or novice seeking to grow your investor knowledge!

    For this cycle, we will be reviewing and selecting applications to pitch at the upcoming RVC Signature Series: Women's Investor Network Night.

    Each year on November 19th, the world celebrates Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, recognizing the vision, impact, and resilience of women founders who are shaping industries, creating jobs, and driving innovation worldwide. In honor of this global movement, the Rockies Venture Club Women's Investor Network is proud to present the RVC Signature Series: Women's Investor Network Night. This event will showcase the incredible achievements of female entrepreneurs, featuring a thought-provoking Keynote presentation from Nicole Glaros, Venture Partner for Matchstick Ventures, pitches from investment-ready women-led startups, and networking opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors, and community supporters.

    After the conclusion of presentations, all accredited investors in attendance are invited to join the Rockies Venture Club Investor Forum. RVC Investor Forums serve to pool the wisdom, expertise, and capital of many individual angels. At this forum, investors will privately discuss the merits and risks of each venture. There is no requirement to invest and each investor has an opportunity to indicate interest in following or leading a specific deal. Both new and experienced investor members are welcome at forums -- this is the best way to learn hands-on about angel investing!

    In partnership with

    Colorado Climate Week – A yearly event to drive climate action and explore new climate technologies.
