Nutrition Capital Network next week in San Francisco


The pre-eminent bi-annual gathering of companies looking for capital in the nutrition/Health & Wellness field and investors (venture capital, private equity and strategic) is next week in San Francisco (Oct. 20/21). This is the fifth full Nutrition Capital Network Event (or "NCN V" in the shorthand); I've been to the previous four and the event is always well worth it. It's a fantastic networking opportunity for both the companies and investors. This fall's line-up looks outstanding:
