Selection Process
The Montgomery Summit’s selection committee of expert investors chooses 140 emerging private companies to interact with top industry executives and decision-makers.
Private company presentations are the most significant element of Summit programming, with selected companies presenting on seven stages throughout the venue.
Chief executive officers of private technology companies present to a community of accomplished, senior-level venture capital investors, entrepreneurs, and corporate executives. The Montgomery Summit has been a valuable fundraising, strategic development, and networking event for hundreds of successful tech companies since 2003.

About the Presentations
Company presentations are typically delivered by a company’s CEO. If the CEO is unable to present, we will consider requests to allow another senior executive at the company to present on the company’s behalf, most frequently a CFO or COO. Each company presenter is provided a 30-minute time slot with 20 minutes to present, 5 minutes for questions and answers, and 5 minutes for transition periods.
