Seattle Venture Investing for Startups

NEW YORK - July 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Entrepreneurs who sought early-stage capital financing have found solutions and gathered insights during the The Soho Loft and Funding Post’s Seattle VC, Angel and Crowd Investing Event held last June 20, 2013.

The event organizers have already carved a name in the country’s leading networks of venture capitalists, angel investors and crowdfunders. They are known for organizing numerous sold-out events on  early-stage equity raising across the United States over the past couple of years.

Marian Munz, President and CEO at Media Sentiment says, “It was a unique event where expert investors and entrepreneurs came together to share invaluable ideas and experiences.” Munz is one of the panel speakers for crowdfunding and a renowned expert on financial news and media analysis.

Discussions during the event tackled recent developments, prospects and opportunities following rapid changes in the financial structures in the country.
"It was a great event for any entrepreneur looking to raise early capital," said David Varvel, another  crowdfunding speaker. Varvel is the Founder of Tiny Cat Loans, a community lending platform for small businesses.

Varvel also advised: "The most important thing for any crowdfunding campaign is community.  Always think about the community that you'll be reaching out to."

Other speakers in the crowdfunding panel were:
¤ Brent Picasso, Co-founder of Autosport Labs
¤ George Peterson, Owner and Founder of ProperFlops

Speakers for the angel investors and VC panel were:
¤ Martin Stever, President at Pacific West Land
¤ Peter Wiess, Angel Investor
¤ Gary Ritner, Angel Investor
¤ Scott Drug, Managing Director at Acorn Ventures
¤ Villette Nolan, Angel Investor at Seraph Capital

In typical fashion, there was an optional Pitch Workshop for entrepreneurs who wanted to meet the investors up close and personal and to present their ideas and plans for critique and evaluation.

The event provided ample opportunities for participants to network with corporate leaders and innovators as well. They gained expert advice and insider tips from thought leaders of  top businesses and  industries.
