Combining a Seminar, Pitch Practice and Feedback from Investors, all in one morning.
First, we have a VC and an Angel present the the ins-and-outs of venture capital and angel capital, along with pros and cons, and myriad terminology.
- 9-9:30am registration and coffee
- 9:30-10:15am Presentations by Jean and Jennifer on Venture and Angel Capital
- Break
- 10:30am Pitches start: 3 minutes of pitching and 5 minutes of investor feedback
- 10 companies selected to pitch
- 12:15-1pm: Pizza and networking
Seven investors give feedback to the 10 selected.
- What's the difference between angel financing and venture capital?
What does an investor need in order to be interested?
- What minimum goals do I need to obtain to get a meeting?
- What's convertible debt?
- Do I or Don't I Need a Business Plan?
Then, we'll take 10 qualified startups who will get to deliver a 5 minute pitch and receive 5 minutes of helpful feedback and suggestions from the panel. We are welcoming early stage companies that have innovative ideas and products and may not yet be ready for investment. It's a 'no harm' chance to hear from a well-experienced and intentioned group
