A beyond capacity turn out occurred on June 3rd at the New Jersey Entrepreneurs Network in Princeton which brought together a full panel of angels and angel groups who were readily accessible to attending entrepreneurs. Deploying what they called a ‘reverse angel fair”, angel panelists sat among the audience in designated tables which allowed easy access by entrepreneurs to approach them and discuss their funding needs following the event’s panel discussion.
One attending entrepreneur,Michael Marsan, President of New Market Translations which has a disruptive technology for the translation services industry, expressed his enthusiasm for the panel and the accessibility that was given. He was very pleased to see the broad panel representation from regional angel groups and the innovative way that NJEN offered contact with them.
The panel included:
- Mario Casabona, President and CEO, Casabona Venture LLC & Chair of JumpstartNJ Angel Network
- Larry Chaityn, Chapter President of Keiretsu Forum NY Tri-State
- Loren D. Danzis, Delaware Crossing Investor Group
- Ellen Sandles, Executive Director, Tri-State Private Investors
- Christopher Starr, Executive Director Mid-Atlantic Angel Group Funds
- David Twersky, President, Robin Hood Ventures
