SPACE IS LIMITED!

It is estimated that angel investors invest $60 billion a year, which is many times that of venture investors. Angel financing is not appropriate for all ventures. However, when appropriate, angels can contribute more than just funding. 

With the advent of angel networks, the line has blurred between VC’s and angels. An understanding of what angels can contribute in terms of capital, operational expertise and contacts is useful.

Please join us for an overview of Q2 2012 Series “A” deals and a lively discussion with our impressive panel of angels to address:

• What criteria do angels use to review deals?
• What is the due diligence process for angel groups?
• What do angels add to their portfolio companies?
• Term sheets - What are the critical elements in an angel deal?
• Exit strategies - When do angels typically exit a deal?

Come hear the panel’s thoughts on these and other issues pertinent to entrepreneurs and then network over a beer in the Venture Café at 5:30pm.

Moderated by:  Kyle Alspach, Startups and VC Editor, Boston Business Journal
Panelists:  Joe Caruso, The Bantam Group
