What You Will Learn
You’ve got a stellar initial team, a great value proposition, and—best of all—traction with early customers. You’ve bootstrapped to get this far, but now you need a larger infusion of capital to pull it all together. The process, however, feels daunting—and you wish you could be a fly on the wall watching somebody else go through it first. Now you can. Come listen to three CEOs pitch their companies to three leading members of Seattle’s angel investment community for feedback—and get a view into the process and the questions you’re likely to face before you’re the one in the hot seat.

The Alliance of Angels (AoA), a program of the Technology Alliance, is a regionally-focused group of over 100 individual investors and representatives of investment corporations. After a rigorous coaching and screening process, the AoA provides a “matchmaking” service, introducing young technology companies to interested investors at monthly membership meetings. www.allianceofangels.com

The Puget Sound Venture Club was founded in 1985 to provide a forum for individual investors to review seed and early-stage investment opportunities with the potential to return 10x in five years. PSVC members meet monthly to review investment opportunities, but members invest individually. Past and present PSVC members have invested in more than 500 ventures.
