Entrepreneurs meet Early-Stage Investors in Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley, CA (May 23, 2007) – On May 29, FundingPost (www.FundingPost.com) is hosting a panel discussion with leading Angel Investors at its “Silicon Valley Early-Stage Venture Investing” event, hosted by the City of Menlo Park. FundingPost has created a unique niche because while most Investor events deal with Venture Capitalists and later-stage investors, this event allows early-stage companies a chance to meet local early-stage Private Investors known as “Angel” Investors and Seed-stage Venture Capitalists. For more information about this event, the FundingPost Event Calendar and registration information are available online: http://www.FundingPost.com/events.asp

After hosting a highly successful series of Angel Investing events for four years, FundingPost is continuing this proven formula again this year. The panelists for the event include:

• Richard Irving, Managing Partner, Pond Venture Partners
• Andrew Braccia, Accel Partners
• Tom McKinley, Managing Partner & Co-Founder, Partech International
• Robert McNeil, Ph.D., Managing Director, Sanderling Ventures
• John Hall, General Partner & Co-Founder, Horizon Ventures
• Edward Esber, Jr., Member, The Halo Fund
• Ben Dubin, Asset Management Company
• Igor Sill, Managing Director, Hambrecht Geneva Ventures
• Ravi Belani, Associate, Draper Fisher Jurvetson


Following the breakfast presentation, two companies will have the opportunity to “pitch” to the entire panel of investors. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for an early-stage company to spend 20 minutes pitching a room full of early-stage Investors,” said Joe Rubin, Director, FundingPost. “Seed-stage VCs are always on the lookout for great ideas, and FundingPost is proud to provide a forum for them to locate promising new ventures.”
