Our upcoming Investor Hangout is happening next Friday starting at 9am PDT on Google Hangouts. Investor Hangouts is a bi-weekly, virtual pitch event where founders get a rare opportunity to make valuable connections with an investor and learn how to refine and master their pitches. Each founder is allotted a 10-15 minute time slot to pitch to 2-3 investors and receive pitch feedback. Additionally, investors make introductions to potential advisors or other investors on behalf of participants with successful pitches. In some cases, they have set up meetings with the founders directly.

If you are a founder of a tech startup and looking for pitch feedback, make sure to register for Investor Hangouts before the registration deadline, next Wednesday, August 7th, 2013!

Read on to learn more about our two investors for Investor Hangouts #4.
