What information is critical? How much deta il is enough\, or too much? What do angel investors consider when evalua ting an investment opportunity? \;\n \;\nSince 1999\, the Program Managers at the Alliance of Angels have been coaching early-stage compan ies and bringing the best deals to angel investor members. Having collec tively interviewed hundreds of companies\, we have developed a set of be st practices regarding the presentations that resonate with the angel in vestment community. In the 10-Minute Pitch Clinic\, we share these best practices with you in an interactive workshop. Instead of learning these lessons the hard way\, when you're in front of angels asking for money\ , consider attending our clinic first to get the inside information you need to know\, now. \;\n \;\nThis workshop format will be divided into two parts. First\, we will give an overview of the Alliance of Ange ls and discuss the components of a good 10 minute pitch. Afterwards\, we will work directly with the participants on your specific start-up mess aging. All you need to bring is your vision for your company and your de sire to make this workshop truly participative-- no other preparation is necessary. Space is limited to 20 attendees\, so reserve your spot toda y. The price to attend is $95 per person with advanced registration\, or $110 at the door.\n\nTags: tvg\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/e vents/1250456169 URL:http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/48448 SUMMARY:Alliance of Angels 10 Minute Pitch Clinic LOCATION:K&L Gates: 222 Sw Columbia St\, Portland OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081121T180210Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081202T140000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081202T120000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081121T180210Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081121T180256Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250456161 DESCRIPTION:Entrepreneur Meetups >\; The OTBC Meetup Group \;\n \ ;\nOTBC/SAO/OEN Lunch and Learn: Introduction to Venture Capital \;\n \;\nAbout the Program \;\n \;\nThis program will provide an ov erview of the process of raising venture capital\, from preparation thro ugh term sheet\, due diligence\, and the legal documents.
