Silicon Valley Investing Forum: Feb 8, 3:30pm-5:00pm,

Now Accepting Startups to Pitch and Investors to Judge

We are hosting another venture pitch program on Feb 8 from 3:30pm-5:00pm where startups can register to pitch and investors can judge. The event on Feb 4 is now full for startups.

If you are an investor and want to be a judge either event, register below and we will assign you a session. For this event, we are offering a new feature. We ask the judges or investor attending to each agree to take two post event 15 minutes virtual meetings with startups they select. This allows each startup a chance to get a 1 on 1 meeting with an investor.

VIRTUAL EVENT AGENDA FOR FEB 8 from 3:30-5:00 pm

STARTUPS CAN NOW REGISTER TO PITCH WITH NEW FEATURES TO ENHANCE INVESTOR CONNECTIONS

Register as attendee, tech professional, startup or investor. We are trying to find creative ways to enhance the startup experience online to meet investors and welcome your ideas.

• REGISTER TO PITCH: Register to pitch on this page for your number of minutes (1-5 minutes) followed by q/a and feedback from investors.
• UPLOAD PITCH DECKS IN ADVANCE: We create a google drive link where you can post your slide deck for investors to view and download before and after the session. This allows investors to follow up with you
• WIN 1 on 1 MEETING WITH INVESTORS: We request the judges to agree to take two post event 15 minutes virtual meetings with startups they select. This allows each startup a chance to get a 1 on 1 meeting with an investor. The investor will select which startup; so some startups will have several meetings and some may have none.

PAST ANGEL LAUNCH EVENTS TESTIMONIAL:

Here is  testimonial from Michael Gibstine, Managing Director, Hanover International. 

”I work in Silicon Valley and attend many venture forums and investment summits.   If you select one event to attend this year, I highly recommend Angel Launch events, either Silicon Valley Funding Summit in Las Vegas or  Silicon Valley Investing Summit on Oct 1 in San Francisco. I have known the founder Zahava Stroud for eight years, and she produces the best regarded, highest quality summits for startups and investors. The events feature high quality innovative attendees from startups, investors and corporate partners; exciting customer experience with lavish food and drinks; and exceptional attendee experience with engaging discussions. 

The events are impeccably organized with well crafted, thoughtful agendas addressing emerging tech trends; excellent speakers from top tier investment firms, VCs, corporate brands, and angels; and high level networking opportunities with demo tables.  I have had follow up discussions with many high quality startups or advanced growth companies seeking capital. I highly recommend this summit to any person, company or agency that wants to bolster its connections to Silicon Valley; network with investors; meet high growth startups looking to expand their offices; and learn how to emulate Silicon Valley in your region.
