Capital Raising Events in NYC

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

Calling all NYC entrepreneurs looking for funding. There are several events hosted by FundingPost.com this fall that I want to bring to your attention.

The first event takes place on September 16t h from 2:00pm – 6:00pm. Total number of tickets is limited to 80 so register for the event ASAP. The ticket price is $75 or $350 if you also want to participate in the Optional Pitching Workshop Lunch from 11:00am – 1:00pm. The best part is the ability to provide a ΒΌ page summary of your business idea and contact info to all the investors. If you are still at your early stages, this is a great informational session at a relatively reasonable and affordable price.

Below is a list of speakers scheduled to speak at the event:
Moderator: John Hempill, Partner, Morrison & Foerster
Sita Vasan, Senior Manager, Strategic Investments, Intel Capital
Morgan Rodd, Jr., Co-Managing Partner, ArrowPath Venture Partners
Ryan Ziegler, Investment Manager, Edison Venture Fund
Habib Kairouz, Managing Partner, Rho Ventures
Don Sussis, Angel Investor
Robert A. Spira, Chariman, Chapman, Spira & Carson
John Ason, Angel Investor

The second event takes place on November 3 & 4 from 7:30am – 7:00pm. This is for those who are fully prepared to present their idea to Venture Capital firms. Companies are screened and hand-picked for a spot once they register for the event. Total number of tickets is limited to 18 tech companies so act FAST if you are ready! Ticket price is $500.
