VC Taskforce Event: Seed-Stage Investor Elevator Pitch November 12, 2012

The Seed Stage Angel Elevator Pitch is a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to network with Seed Stage Angels and other CXOs, present their company and ideas and learn first-hand how to raise early-stage capital in today's market. Seed Stage Angel investors generally invest $100,000-$200,000 per person in early stage technology companies as compared to traditional Angels who may invest $25,000 to $50,000 in a deal.

During the evening, registered entrepreneurs will present their pitches to the entire room. Our panel of Seed Stage Angels will ask questions and provide brief feedback. Our lively panel discussion + Q&A will provide critical insight into what it takes to raise capital today.

If you are an entrepreneur in a startup that is currently seeking capital and would like to present your best two-minute elevator pitch to a panel of Angels, you must register in advance. There are 10 available pitch tickets that will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be 4 available Standby-pitch tickets thereafter. Be reminded that our events tend to fill up quickly. Please register early. Once you are registered to pitch, you will receive pitch guidelines from the Program Team. Follow the guidelines because pitching time limits are strictly enforced. After the two minute pitch, there will be four minutes of Q&A by the panel, followed by four minutes of non-rebuttal feedback from each panelist.

Entrepreneurs not yet ready to pitch are encouraged to purchase a general admission ticket. By listening to the pitches, the Q&A, and the critiques you will learn key points to develop an effective pitch that investors will value.

If you are an investor, come and listen to the entrepreneurs' pitches-you never know where you'll find your next deal.
