July 19, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
On September 13th, 2006, FundingPost (www.fundingpost.com) is hosting a panel discussion with leading Angel Investors at its “Angels in Philadelphia” event, sponsored by Wolf Block. While most Investor events deal with Venture Capitalists, FundingPost is returning to Philadelphia with an event specifically designed to give early-stage companies a chance to meet local Private Investors. The FundingPost Event Calendar and registration information are available online: http://www.FundingPost.com/events.asp After hosting a series of Angel Investing events in 2005, FundingPost is launching its first Angel event this year in Philadelphia. The panelists for this event include:
- Sushma Rajagopalan, Minority Angel Investor Network
- Elizabeth Sigety, Asst Dir & Co-Founder, Delaware Crossing Investor Group
- John Liberati, Angel Investor, Liberati Investment Corporation
- Angel Investor (TBA), Robin Hood Ventures
- Moderator: David Gitlin, Chair Corporate/Securities, Wolf Block
- Additional Investors to be announced
Following the breakfast presentation, there will be the opportunity for some companies to “pitch” the entire panel and additional Angels. “It’s a unique and helpful opportunity for a start-up to spend 15 minutes pitching a room full of Angels Investors,” said Joe Rubin, Director, FundingPost. “The market for early-stage deals has recovered and Angel investors are looking for these opportunities. FundingPost provides a forum for Angel Investors to find the great ideas they are seeking.”
