Early Stage Investors Return To Phoenix to Share Their Wisdom and Their Money

PHOENIX - Sept. 26, 2016 - PRLog -- Interested in meeting early-stage accredited investors in Phoenix? Then register for the FundingPost Investor RoundTable to be held on Thursday, October 20, 2016, at Arizona State University Skysong, 1475 North Scottsdale Road, Suite 200, Scottsdale, AZ 85257 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

FundingPost will continue their sold out series where they bring in panels of local and out-of-town investors to focus on pitching to early-stage investors. They have investors from Silicon Valley, Southern California and Colorado along with local investors who they will introduce to AZ entrepreneurs and discuss what it really takes to get them to write you a check!

The first 25 entrepreneur attendees to sign up will also get the option to pitch their business idea in 60 seconds or less in front of the investor panel and receive feedback as a group from the panel.

Along with the pitch competition, there is an educational and networking component to the event. All attendees will be gaining an understanding of what investors are looking for in the Phoenix market and what our entrepreneurs are building.

Regional Manager of Phoenix FundingPost Scott Kelly commented, "This is by far the best panel of investors we have brought to Phoenix. Like all FundingPost events, the Phoenix roundtable is expected to not only sell out, but also lead to many success stories. The significance of the Phoenix conference is to educate entrepreneurs on raising capital, growing their businesses, and helping the local economy build the companies of the future."
