- Entrepreneur getting ready to approach investors for first time
I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with all of the other angels and support staff. This was my first exposure to Angel investing and I found the seminar was very informative and enlightening. Thank you for hosting this event and my highest compliments go to you for a job well done.
- New angel investor
It was a great event; thank you for helping make it happen. Being from the technical research side and having virtually no experience with startups, I really learned a lot of useful information. Hopefully this will help me push the right technologies towards angel investors.
- Patent agent for university
Other will benefit from this seminar because it gives a general all-around look at what seed stage angel investors should consider in their role with the start-up. It is also great for start-up principals so they have an idea as to what they should expect from angel investors.
