The Super Angel Week is not complete without the Summer NYC VC & Angel Conference (http://thesoholoft.com/conferences/summer-nyc-vc-angel-conference/) on 7 August to be held at La Marina in 348 Dyckman St (on the Hudson). This power-packed conference is open to entrepreneurs,  investors that include VCs, angels and corporations, crowdfunding leaders, service providers and exhibiting companies as well as media and the academe. It will focus on early-stage investments and the methods of attracting investors and securing the funding needed.

David Drake says, “There are many people getting into crowdfunding without fully understanding the concept. Information is very important for both startup entrepreneurs and investors to be able to make informed decisions. This series of events is a good platform for you to learn the dos and don'ts in the crowdfunding industry.”

There are two panels of speakers in this conference: the Crowdfunding panel and the VC and Angel Investors Panel.

The Crowdfunding Panel speakers include: Bruce Lipnick (http://thesoholoft.com/speaker-profile-of-bruce-h-lipnick/),CEO and Founder of Asset Alliance Corporation, CrowdAlliance and Ver-On-Demand; Nick Bhargava (http://thesoholoft.com/speaker-profile-of-nick-bhargava/), Co-Founder of  Groundfloor; and  Alex Feldman (http://thesoholoft.com/speaker-profile-of-alex-feldman/),  CEO and Founder of CrowdsUnite.

Bruce Lipnick of Crowd Alliance says, “I am very excited to be participating in another industry conference presented by The Soho Loft and FundingPost. Educating investors and entrepreneurs about the new crowdfunding segment of the venture capital and angel space is vital to the expansion and adoption of this new capital raising innovation.” Last April 2014 CrowdAlliance created and introduced a state-of-the-art technology platform for accredited investors and  issuers.

Kevin Pianko (http://thesoholoft.com/speaker-profile-of-kevin-pianko/), Partner of WeiserMazars and David Gitlin (http://thesoholoft.com/speaker-profile-of-david-gitlin/), Partner of  Greenberg Traurig LLC will moderate the VC and Angel Panel, with the following speakers: J.

During lunch, the conference participants especially the early-stage entrepreneurs, will learn how to make  elevator pitches to investors in a two-hour workshop. The facilitator will completely deconstruct your pitch. He will work with you on how to formulate a clean and concise pitch. Only the essentially important information will be in the pitch, and these should provide what the investors NEED to hear to make an educated decision - whether to fund or not your company.  The participants can further network with the investor panelists present in the workshop.

The sponsors for this summer conference are: WeiserMazars, (http://www.weisermazars.com/)Nolcha - Creative Events Agency (https://www.linkedin.com/company/nolcha), Social Radius (http://www.socialradius.com/), Pura Vida (http://puravidatequila.com/), TriNet - Ambitions Realized (http://www.trinet.com/), and Defiant (https://www.defiantwhisky.com/).
