Moderator: Zach Ellis

Keep hearing stories about founders who secured sizeable angel investments, but not sure how they did it? Wondering how to seek friends and family investment without rich friends and family? This panel brings unique insight into this issue, including the perspective of an angel investor, an early-stage institutional investor, and two founders with recent experience securing early capital. Moderated by the senior director of investment funds at Rev1, this panel will discuss how to meet and ask for capital from individuals, angels and seed-stage investors, as well as the big-picture implications of a system that encourages friends and family investment.
