CEO of Dealmaker Media
“While the perception may be that Under the Radar is a conduit to venture capital, the conference is really a conduit to making business deals. When we put together the Under the Radar conference, we work to ensure that all of the pieces needed to make and close a deal are not only present in one room, but are also ready to make deals happen. So whether a company is trying to get a meeting to present your technology to carriers, is trying to raise money or find other business development partners, the right people are attending Under the Radar and looking to make deals happen. After all, we are Dealmaker Media.”
