Welcome!

High Desert Venture Camp is proud to announce that we'll be working again with the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance to bring their new "Advanced Invention to Venture" workshop to Albuquerque, New Mexico from November 28th - December 1st. 

Advanced Invention to Venture -- or AI2V -- helps fill a need to accelerate local companies' development of business plans, and is timed to help fill the pipeline for UNM's Business Plan Competition, TVC's Capital Equity Symposium, and the venture investment community.  An intensive 3+ day workshop with entrepreneurial experts from UCSD's 'CONNECT' Program and ASU's 'Technopolis', backed by NCIIA's experience and connections with the tech entrepreneruship community, AI2V is a bargain for tech start-ups looking to transform their advanced ideas into presentable plans.   For more details, download our information sheet here.

2007 has been very promising for entrepreneurs in New Mexico. As part of activities associated with Entrepreneurship Week USA (sponsored by the Kauffman Foundation, Inc. Magazine and the New York Times), High Desert Venture Camp hosted a celebration of entrepreneurship in New Mexico on February 28th, and more recently HDVC worked with ARTS Lab to host the July Coronado Ventures Forum with Village Ventures' Bo Peabody.  Visit our events page for more details.

Our most recent "Invention to Venture" workshop -- our second annual -- was held on Saturday, October 21st, 2006.  For those of you interested in presentation slides from our speakers, visit our events page.
