I am compiling a repository of conferences and events in the field of Entrepreneurial Finance/Private Equity/Venture Capital especially geared towards Ph.D. students. The idea is to simplify and centralize the information for students who hope to present their research and receive valuable feedback.

Help is greatly appreciated and encouraged; if you think I should add a particular conference or event, feel free to contact me!
