SpeedPitching Event to Bring Northern California Entrepreneurs and Angel Investors Together

FundingNorCal.com hosts matching event for entrepreneurs and investors in new, high-speed format

Northern California entrepreneurs searching for angel capital have a new way to find it, thanks to FundingNorCal.com’s upcoming Speedpitching luncheon.

FundingNorCal.com is a member of the FundingUniverse.com family of sites that provide a matching service for entrepreneurs and angel investors in states throughout the U.S.

The luncheon will feature ten of California’s top entrepreneurs giving five-minute pitches to groups of 3-5 accredited angel investors, rotating in a fast-paced, speed-dating style. Entrepreneurs will be available for question and answer sessions on an individual basis after the event. The event will take place on June 8th.

“Studies show that the primary reasons that investors choose to invest in companies have to do with the charisma, trustworthiness, and experience of the entrepreneur,” said FundingUniverse.com CEO Brock Blake. “The Speedpitching luncheon will give entrepreneurs the chance to present themselves, as well as their ideas.”

In the interest of maintaining the intimacy of the event, only ten entrepreneurs and 50 investors will be allowed to attend the luncheon.

“Speedpitching will enable promising entrepreneurs to present their ideas to a large number of angel investors in an intimate setting,” said FundingUniverse.com Chief Evangelist Jeff Jordan. “In addition, angel investors will learn about California’s most promising business opportunities without long, impersonal presentations.”

Entrepreneurs and accredited angel investors interested in participating in the luncheon may register by visiting www.fundinguniverse.com/shop/pitching/norcal.php , or calling 877.638.3616.
