We are excited to be returning to the Boston area, said Joe Rubin, Director, FundingPost. The economy for early-stage investing is improving. Our investor panels are excited to see the new dealflow in these early companies, and the entrepreneurs are finding the investors tips and responses helpful for improving and refining their pitches.
As with all FundingPost events, there will be pitching and plenty of networking time for the entrepreneurs to meet the investors! There is still space available, but seating is limited!
