Are You an Entrepreneur Looking for Capital? Your revenue is likely under $5 million per year or you are still at an idea level. Is your idea worth of investing? Well, it’s time to find out. The Soho Loft is run by a fellow European (Swedish, a long time EuroCircle NYC/Miami member)
Angel and Venture Capital Investment Strategies @ The Soho Loft Innovative Investing Symposium 2013
The Soho Loft presents Innovative Investing Symposium 2013 in cooperation with Thomson Reuters/PartnerConnect East
How to meet investors, pitch them, and what it really takes to get them to write you a check. Covers trends in early-stage investing; sectors that angels and VCs are most interested in; factors that are most important to them when considering an investment; and the best and worst things an entrepreneur can do to get their attention.
We’re delighted to bring you The Soho Loft Innovative Investing Symposium 2013, a four-track event that is part of Thomson Reuters PartnerConnect 2013 network of events in Boston on April 3-5, the world’s largest event produced by Thomson Reuters for investors.

This is a 2 part event – The first session will be the Life’s a Pitch TM workshop where we will work with entrepreneurs on building a clean and concise elevator pitch. Too often we see entrepreneurs get in front of investors and give a pitch that doesn’t work! This interactive workshop will help you build your pitch from the ground up, and put together a pitch that not only sounds amazing, but gives the specific information that investors need to hear about your company. This session is has VERY limited seating. This sessions attendees will also have access to session 2.
Session 2 of the event is a networking meet-and-greet between investors and entrepreneurs they have funded. This session is ONLY open to Entrepreneurs who have raised some capital, and the VC or Angel that invested in them. Each company and investor will be able to network with other companies and investors in the room with the goal of completing a current round or raising the next one. Keeping the formalities on the light side, each CEO & Investor in the room will be able to introduce themselves at the microphone.

His previous novel Nostalgia was published by New Directions. He currently lives in Bucharest.

Acclaim for Illegal Liaisons:
“A passionate novel of unstoppable physical obsession amongst a group of Brussels eurocrats, Illegal Liaisons offers a fascinating insight into the first Polish generation that is truly ‘free’, but struggle to know where the boundaries of that freedom lie.”–Stork Press
“Aspiring writer Jonathan puts his career on hold to follow his wife to Brussels, but finds himself drawn into an affair with the beautiful yet elusive Andrea. What follows is a tormenting battle between conscience and desire. Complex and compelling, Illegal Liaisons is a penetrating work of erotic imagination and a chilling portrait of the nature of love.”–New Europe Books
