Angel Investors have the best broad knowledge, awareness and experience to assess new formidable ventures; and the best mindset to positively influence entrepreneurial talent.

Advancing value in the communities they care about is much of what distinguishes angel investors from other capital sources.  Today more than ever, a critically important community in RVA is that of entrepreuneurial start-ups - Learners and seekers that will lead us all in the new society, economy and environment.  

Richmond Unite is pleased to further the mission of supporting Richmond area youth charities by hosting this information rich, entertaining summit with Angel Investors. 

Each attendee will leave armed with the following key information for their next (or first?) pitch:

• Key points to cover when making your pitch
• How timing can make or break your pitch
• The top 3 things investors are looking for in a business plan
• Techniques to build a team without breaking the bank
• Once you ARE funded, how to manage the relationship with your investor
• What investors want to hear so you can craft your pitch for maximum impact!

The session will be moderated, followed by a Q&A with the audience.  After the summit, please join us for a cocktail Action Hour with refreshments and most of all, further discussion about the knowledge shared during the summit.
