At this event the panel of investors will focus on Early-Stage Venture Investing & a fireside chat about ICO basics: How to meet investors, pitch them, and what it really takes to get them to write you a check! We will be discussing trends in Early-Stage Investing, hot sectors, sectors that these Angels and VCs look at, things that are most important to them when they are considering an Investment, the best and worst things an entrepreneur can do to get their attention, additional advice for entrepreneurs, and, of course, the best ways to reach these and other Investors.

ICOs raised a global record 1.1 billion dollars in December 2017 alone according to TokenMarket. That’s HUGE, but what exactly does that mean? Can anyone do an ICO? Should everyone? and what exactly is an ICO anyway?

The Investor panel will discuss trends in Early-Stage Investing, hot sectors, sectors that Angels and VCs look at, things that are most important to them when they are considering an Investment, the best and worst things an entrepreneur can do to get their attention, additional advice for entrepreneurs considering an ICO, and, of course, the best ways to reach these and other Investors. We will also have companies currently running an ICO discussing their strategy, differences, best practices and how the process is working.
