On May 23, FundingPost will host a panel discussion with local Angel Investors, Venture Capitalists, and Corporate VCs at its "Portland VC and Angel Event,” sponsored by Perkins Coie and OAF. FundingPost has organized 200+ sold-out venture events over the past 11 years.
Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors will gather at FundingPost's upcoming event to discuss the trends in Early-Stage Investing, hot sectors, sectors that these Angels and VCs look at, things that are most important to them when they are considering an Investment, the best and worst things an entrepreneur can do to get their attention, give additional advice to entrepreneurs, current events such as deal terms and crowdfunding, and, of course, the best ways to reach these and other Investors.
Speakers:
• Rick Gibson, Angel Investor, Desert Angels
• Scott Sandler, Angel Investor, Oregon Angel Fund
• Angela Jackson, Managing Director, Portland Seed Fund
• Matt Miller, Managing Director, Walden Venture Capital
• Peter Weiss, Angel Investor
“We are excited about our first event in the Portland area. It’s a fantastic opportunity for an early-stage company to meet face to face with investors,” said Joe Rubin, Director, FundingPost. “Early-stage VCs are always on the lookout for great ideas, and FundingPost is proud to provide a forum for these investors to locate promising new ventures.”
As with all FundingPost events, there will also be pitching and plenty of networking time for the entrepreneurs to meet the investors during the cocktail party! There is still space available, but the seating is limited!
