On October 20th, FundingPost (www.FundingPost.com) is hosting a panel discussion with leading Angel Investors at its “Angel Investors in New York” event, sponsored by Morrison and Foerster. FundingPost has created a unique niche because while most Investor events deal with Venture Capitalists and later-stage investors, this event allows early-stage companies a chance to meet local early-stage Private Investors known as “Angel” Investors and Early-stage Venture Capitalists.
