Speakers:
Bob Geras, President, LaSalle Investments
Jeff Weber, Angel Investor
Our first two Investor speakers have been announced with additional Angels and VCs to be announced shortly.

"We are excited to be organizing an event in Madison, Wisconsin, for the first time," said Joe Rubin, Director, FundingPost. "The economy for early-stage investing is improving. Our investor panels are excited to see the new dealflow, and the entrepreneurs seem enthusiastic about learning investors' tips and responses helpful for improving and refining their pitches."
