No fees, zero, zip, nada.

It starts with an open call for the best new startups to pitch their ideas.  From there the five most promising are selected to present before a room of angel investors.  However these aren’t just any ordinary angel investors, these are THE angel investors that any startup would love to have backing their vision.

Just like the startups, the angels themselves go through a selection process.  Much care is taken to select only the best 20 angels for each event.  Each angel that is accepted is expected to have  at least three or four notable angel investments in the last year.  Any angel who happens to be a lawyer, recruiter, accountant, is not able to participate as an angel, as we’re only interested in angels who are looking to invest, not pick up clients.

Lastly, in addition to the five presenters and 20 angels, we reserve five seats for service providers at $1500 per seat.  The service providers are seated with the angels and just like the angels, stand up to introduce themselves and their company.  Without exception to date, everyone in the room recognizes the sponsors with applause for their support and sponsorship of the event.  The idea is to keep the forum tight, intimate, high profile, and ideally suited for everyone involved.  No press or visitors are invited or allowed.

Since the inaugural event this past January in Los Angeles, additional chapters continue to launch at an incredible pace.  The plan is to limit to 20 cities worldwide, each having three events per year on average.  The response from everyone involved in all directions has been truly humbling and exciting to be part of, and  the excitement around each event continues to grow at a surprising rate.
