Head to Eugene for the second-annual Willamette Angel Conference! If you've never attended an angel investor conference, you're not going to want to miss this opportunity. The conference will be filled with inspiration, education, competition, and fun. The winning company will walk away with a minimum investment prize of $125,000.
All submitting companies must be emerging-growth, and seeking somewhere between $200,000 and $2 million in seed/early-stage funding. Companies should submit their applications by Monday, March 15, 2010 by visiting www.willametteconference.com/businessplans.
The first pitches of the day will be wildcards called IGNITE-STYLE PITCHES – where six start-ups will have the opportunity to deliver their business plan in 3.5 minutes (13 slides, automatically advance every 15 seconds). This is a high-energy event. The audience votes for the company they think has the most viable business plan. The winner will compete in the main pitch event, and vie for a minimum investment prize of $125,000.
The MAIN PITCH consists of six start-up companies (5 who have been pre-selected, plus the 1 wildcard winner) who each have 10 minutes to deliver their business plan. Each pitch is followed by 7 minutes of feedback and audience Q&A, which is facilitated by an expert panel of investors.
