I recently participated as a judge for a Silicon Valley Investment Forum with Angel Launch, and was very impressed by the quality of startups. In fact, I am in discussions with one of the startups about a possible investment; and am appreciative of Angel Launch making that connection. I highly recommend other investors to judge and attend the programs, and startups to attend or pitch.”Endorsement 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.”_________________________________________________________________STARTUP SLIDE PREPARATION SUGGESTIONSFor the startups pitching 4 minutes, we strongly suggest this format:Please follow this format and flow below (and use graphs and charts when appropriate) for your 4 min pitch.Maximum 12 slides in total (20 seconds average per slide) and please rehearse.Slide #1: Project’s / Organization’s Name + The ideaSummarize it in one sentence (max 20 words).Slide #2: The ProblemDefine the problem (need) being addressed by your project.
