Looking Ahead to Angel/VC investing in 2015
Re-connect and make new connections within our growing community of angels, VCs, early stage investors and investor enthusiasts as we come together to discuss the outlook for Angel and VC investing in the new year. What does 2015 have in store for Angel investors and Venture Capitalists? What sectors are forecasted to be "hot"? What types of investment trends including exits, deals, valuations, round sizes, etc. did we see in 2014 and what can we expect from 2015?
The evening will feature a thought-provoking discussion (starting at 5:15 pm) followed by an enjoyable reception with local cider, wine and appetizers.
