Seed Capital From Angel Investors: Brian Garrett, Co-Founder And Managing Director, Crosscut Ventures (Part 4)

By guest authors Irina Patterson and Candice Arnold

Irina: How does Open Angel Forum work?

Brian: Jason Calacanis put together a new platform for entrepreneurs to pitch a group of angels without paying to get in front of the them. He was upset by some of the pay-to-present angel networks that had popped up.

So, he started Open Angel Forum. They’ve now launched in several cities across the U.S. and internationally. The one that I most recently attended had five companies pitching to more than 40 local angels and seed investors here in Los Angeles.

It’s a very efficient way to get your story in front of a good group of active angel investors looking for new opportunities to put money to work. >>>
