PAST ANGEL LAUNCH EVENTS TESTIMONIAL:

Endorsement from Mitchell Kominsky, Futureland Ventures,

"I am an investor in early-stage startups that are creating a more sustainable, connected, & resilient future. I recently participated as a judge for a Silicon Valley Investment Forum with Angel Launch, & was very impressed by the quality of startups. In fact, I am in discussions with one of the startups about a possible investment; & am appreciative of Angel Launch making that connection. I highly recommend other investors to judge & attend the programs, & startups to attend or pitch."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Endorsement from Michael Gibstine, Managing Director, Hanover International.

I work in Silicon Valley & attend many venture forums & investment summits. If you select one event to attend this year, I highly recommend Angel Launch events, either Silicon Valley Funding Summit in Las Vegas or Silicon Valley Investing Summit on Oct 1 in San Francisco. I have known the founder Zahava Stroud for eight years, & she produces the best regarded, highest quality summits for startups & investors. The events feature high quality innovative attendees from startups, investors & corporate partners; exciting customer experience with lavish food & drinks; & exceptional attendee experience with engaging discussions.

The events are impeccably organized with well crafted, thoughtful agendas addressing emerging tech trends; excellent speakers from top tier investment firms, VCs, corporate brands, & angels; & high level networking opportunities with demo tables. I have had follow up discussions with many high quality startups or advanced growth companies seeking capital. I highly recommend this summit to any person, company or agency that wants to bolster its connections to Silicon Valley; network with investors; meet high growth startups looking to expand their offices; & learn how to emulate Silicon Valley in your region."
