Seed-Stage Investor Elevator Pitch
February 13, 2012 | 6:00-8:30 PM | 425 Market Street 26th Floor | San Francisco
Event Sponsor: Hanson Bridgett LLP
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.
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 and have confirmation from the program manager that you are on the list of presenters. The maximum number of presenters is ten.
Entrepreneurs not yet ready to pitch, or if there is no slot available, are encouraged to register and attend. By listening to the pitches, the Q&A, and the critiques you will learn key points to develop an effective pitch.
If you are an investor, come and listen to the entrepreneurs’ pitches—you never know where you’ll find your next deal. Find out how our panel of investors rate the entrepreneurs’ pitches; which Angels pass and for what reasons; and which entrepreneurs other Angels want to talk to ASAP.
Please contact us if you would like to participate on one of our Pitch or Workshop panels.
During the evening, entrepreneurs on our Pitch List will present their pitches to the entire room. Our panel of Seed Stage Angels will ask questions and provide brief feedback. Please note that pitching time limits will be 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.
Our lively panel discussion and Q&A will also provide critical insight into what it takes to raise capital today.
