Entrepreneurs to Meet Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists in Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley, CA - February 27, 2009 - FundingPost (www.FundingPost.com) is proud to announce its "Silicon Valley Venture Capital Conference," to take place on March 5, 2009, at the Sheraton Hotel in Palo Alto. FundingPost has organized over 150 sold-out venture events over the past eight years.

Despite the bleak economy, there are still investors looking for quality deals, and this upcoming event will give entrepreneurs access to some of the leading early-stage VCs and Angels in the area. Additionally, as many entrepreneurs wonder what it takes to secure venture capital financing during these challenging times, investors will be offering valuable insight during the two panel discussions. The panels of Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists will address trends in early-stage investing, hot sectors, the best and worst ways to get their attention, as well as additional advice on how to grow your business during the recession. As with all FundingPost events, there will be pitching and plenty of networking time for the entrepreneurs to meet the investors.
