Kudos on your excellent presentation at Los Angeles Venture Association. I truly appreciate you taking the time and making the trip to do so. And, judging from the comments I received so did our attendees.

Our members and guests were very pleased with the depth and detail of the information that was presented. Your enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject, "Business Angel Financing," was very inspiring and enlightening. We are continuing to receive very positive feedback and inquiries.

I want to thank you for taking the time to address the members of the Bay Area Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders last month. In talking with attendees in the days following your presentation, the overwhelming response was positive to both your presentation and the concept of working with the "angel" investment community. As we discussed, it seems that there is more synergy present than we first thought and I am pleased that we had the opportunity to hear about your alternative capitalization methods.

Ralph Barnett, President

In my opinion, you made the finest presentation regarding non-S public offering financing that I have ever heard. I complained to my associates that after I left the presentation room I was tired, because instead of daydreaming during a presentation, which I unfortunately frequently do, I tried to listen to every word you said. I wanted very much to talk to you after your presentation, but I got upstaged by too many participants who were similarly motivated.…

Thank you so much for lecturing to the doctoral candidate class of international business students last Monday, February 26th. It was an outstanding activity for this seminar to be able to visit directly with you as an authority on the venture capital field. The class was particularly impressed with the depth of your knowledge and your years of analysis of venture capitalists and the market that enables you to produce such an excellent description and compelling presentation.

The Orange County Venture Forum enjoyed having you as a speaker last year. Your ideas on finance and start-up funds for new and existing businesses are just what these entrepreneurs need.

By all accounts, the "Accessing Capital" workshop fulfilled its mission: to educate the small-and mid-size company executive on alternative techniques of financing business growth. Our thanks to you and the people in your organization who contributed….
In general conversations with the attendees, a number of people asked that this be considered for at least an annual event.

The Angel Financing Seminar was a very professional and well-organized event. You were very responsive to our needs. The information presented was excellent and proved to be very useful.

D. Barry Wallace, President
Ponderay Enterprises
Salt Lake City, UT


You were able to see that my capital-raising interests were premature, and that I could continue learning the skills necessary to interest investors. You were able to create a unique learning opportunity for me, which fit my level of entrepreneurial development and clearly increased my understanding of the process.

I expect that your adaptability, flexibility, and insight into the critical characteristics and needs of entrepreneurs and investors are also applied to the situations of others, and that they and we are all a lucky bunch for those qualities.

I was very impressed with the format as well as the distinguished roster of attendees at the Angel Financing Seminar.

As you know, I am in the business of providing capital to small and growing business concerns. I am familiar with the difficulty entrepreneurial concerns face in generating the capital needed to succeed. The information and services that you provide are of significant value, not only to businesses, but also to investors and the communities in which these businesses operate.

I believe there's lots of work to be done to open up communication between angel money and the professional venture capital community. I think your presentation was an excellent one and you took a step toward educating venture capitalists.

As you can see from the high level of attendance and active participation, there is a lot of interest concerning how to tap into the private investor networks that you and your firm understand so well. The unanimous feedback I received from attendees was that your four-hour presentation was extremely interesting, informative, and well organized. Many attendees told me that your seminar presentation was the best they have ever attended.

It was a pleasure listening to your presentation at the East Bay Entrepreneurs' Conference. Your insights for raising capital echo my experience raising funds in 1993 and 1994 through a private placement memorandum.
