Business Review Panel

The Business Review Panel (BRP) has evolved from its origins as the Venture Review Panel (VRP) to address the broader needs of today’s Ottawa entrepreneur. The group will provide impartial third-party review and feedback of your company’s next key business presentation whether your aim is to secure a first customer or to find funding. It can be invaluable to have a full set of experienced advisors available to provide feedback on how well they perceive that a target audience’s needs have been met. Bootstrapping, securing beta trials, getting that first customer, and getting that first BIG customer are some examples of crucial phases and stages of moving your idea/company forward that would benefit from external review.

The Business Review Panel is a diverse group composed of experienced, entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals. Appearing in front of the BRP is meant to be a natural extension to the knowledge gained in the Ottawa Network’s series of weekly information sessions. The BRP schedules quarterly calls for submissions. Those groups selected will present to the panel and receive feedback afterwards. Presenters can expect to receive verbal feedback to help management to focus on operational issues they may encounter, suggestions on product, channel and partnering strategies, ideas on sources of funding and general audience perceptions.
