Entrepreneurs meet Early-Stage Investors in Philadelphia

New York, NY (Oct. 5, 2007) – On October 4th, 2007, FundingPost (www.FundingPost.com) is hosting a panel discussion with leading Early-stage Investors at it’s “Early-Stage Venture Breakfast in Philadelphia” event, sponsored by Wolf Block. 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 Venture Capitalists. For more information about this event, the FundingPost Event Calendar and registration information are available online: http://www.FundingPost.com/events.asp

FundingPost, having hosting a highly successful series of events for the last six years, is continuing this proven formula again this year. The panelists for this event include:

• Rahul Singh, Senior Associate, Cross Atlantic Capital Partners
• Darren C. Wallis, Managing Partner, Osage Ventures
• Michael Kopelman, VP & Principal, Edison Venture Fund
• Mark deGrandpre, Dir. of Investments, Physical Sciences, Ben Franklin Technology Partners
• Hugh Cullman, Managing Partner, ITJ Ventures
• Bruce Luehrs, Partner, Stage2 Capital
• Thomas A. Olenzak, Angel Investor, Robin Hood Ventures


Following the breakfast presentation, 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 panel of Investors,” said Joe Rubin, Director, FundingPost. “Early-stage VCs are always on the lookout for great ideas, and FundingPost is proud to provide a forum for these investors to locate promising new ventures. Several of the companies who pitched at our previous events have raised capital. We hear of more success stories all the time…”
