    Interested in meeting early-stage Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists in The Chicago Area?

    Then register for the FundingPost event on Tuesday, September 14, 2010 -

    FundingPost has hosted 165+ sold-out venture events in 19 cities over the past 8 years.
    At our next event, the panel of investors will focus on Early-Stage Venture Investing:
    How to meet investors, pitch them, and what it really takes to get them to write you a check!
    We will be discussing trends in Early-Stage Investing, hot sectors, sectors that these Angels and VCs look at, things that are most important to them when they are considering an Investment, the best and worst things an entrepreneur can do to get their attention, additional advice for entrepreneurs, and, of course, the best ways to reach these and other Investors. There will be plenty of time for networking with the Investor panelists, both before the panel & after the panel at the Cocktail Party!

    As an additional benefit, entrepreneur 1/4 page summaries will be given to the investor speakers and attendees. All of the Investors will get your company description and contact info!

    Register today, as this event will sell-out! There are only 19 seats left!

    Additionally, there will be an Optional Pitching Workshop Lunch from 11am-1pm. The cost to participate in the workshop will be $350.
