Sharkless Tank: Turning red oceans blue
This hour long event will feature three investment ready companies pitching to a panel of four experienced angel investors including Rockies Venture Club Executive Director Peter Adams. The pitch will be 5 minutes long with 5 minutes for Q&A and 5 minutes of feedback from the angel investors. After the four companies pitch the audience will have a chance to vote for what they think is the most fundable company and will be able to compare their votes to those of the investors.
This will be a valuable event because it will show people what investors look for when investing in deals, what a quality 5 minute pitch looks like, and how companies begin the process of raising angel capital.
Pitch academy: Craft a perfect 5 min pitch
This hour long workshop will feature 3 companies that are working on their pitch. Each of these companies will receive critiques and feedback from a panel of expert judges including: Peter Adams Executive Director of Rockies Venture Club, Dave Harris Operations Director of RVC, and an experienced Angel Investor. Throughout this event audience members will be exposed to: the common mistakes made when pitching for investment, what investors look for when evaluating a deal, how to convert a 1.0 deck into one that will catch an investor’s eye, and finally what the best practices are when creating a quality presentation.
Angel 101
Presented by Peter Adams, co-author of Venture Capital for Dummies and Executive Director of Rockies Venture Club, this two hour workshop provides an overview of angel investing for those who are curious about how it all works. Angel investors are “accredited” meaning that they have a net worth of $1 million or more, but that’s just the beginning. We will cover the bases of how angels who do REALLY well with investments do it. Topics will include sourcing deals, due diligence, valuation of early stage companies, term sheets and negotiation and exit strategies, and finally the current trends in the capital market.This is a great place to get started with angel investing!
