Entrepreneurs meet Early-Stage Investors in Menlo Park

New York, NY October 15, 2007– On October 16th, 2007, FundingPost (www.FundingPost.com) is hosting a panel discussion with leading Early-stage Investors at it’s “Early-Stage Venture Breakfast in Silicon Valley” event, sponsored by Orrick. 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:

• John Hall, General Partner & Co-Founder, Horizon Ventures
• Arati Prabhakar, General Partner, USVP
• Nancy Pfund, Mng. Dir., JP Morgan & Member CA Clean Energy Fund
• Jason Whitt, Vice President, VantagePoint Venture Partners
• Tim Wilson, Partner, Partech International
• Khaled Nasr, Partner, InterWest Partners


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…”
