• Investor Spotting 2012

  All investors are not created equal and the right investor for your startup is just as important as the right team and the right idea. VCs, big bad-ass funds, angels, super-angels, rich uncles, big giant incubators, little tiny incubators, cozy co-working spaces. Where is the smart money for startups in 2012? Where is the dangerous money? How much of your company should you give up when investors step up and how do you choose the right investor for your startup? We will take a look at a panel of investors from across the country to get a feeling of how they view what makes a great investment and the kinds of businesses they are looking at in 2012. This session is sponsored by Mircrosoft.
