Angel Investing: Evaluating Early-Stage Startups
Wednesday, September 27th from 5:30-8PM
CCEI Hartford Office (100 Constitution Plaza, 3rd Floor, Hartford, CT)

For investors, this is one of the most important skills to develop. Most of the pitches that you hear sound great, but will the team really be able to use your money to make money? And for founders, it's equally important to understand how potential investors are sizing-up your team and your venture.

In this session, Craig Mullett will share some criteria that he has developed for evaluating early-stage companies through his experience as an angel investor. He'll also share a framework for using those criteria to efficiently evaluate the investment opportunity associated with early-stage companies both during and AFTER the initial pitch.

A panel of active angel investors will also share their experiences in evaluating, and investing in early-stage startups. Please join us for an informative and engaging evening with peers from Hartford's growing innovation community.
