10+ Venture Capital and Angel Investor Groups in Philadelphia hosted by
FundingPost at its VC Showcase
PHILADELPHIA, April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 23rd, 2006, 10+ leading
Venture Capital and Angel Investor Groups will present at FundingPost's
(http://www.FundingPost.com) "Philadelphia Venture Capital and Angel
Investor Showcase" sponsored by Wolf Block. While most events allow only
start-ups to either listen to a panel of investors or to pitch to
investors, this is FundingPost's unique "Reverse Venture Fair" format
because it allows Entrepreneurs to go and meet the Venture Capitalists and
Angels in an informal environment where the investors are providing
information about their funds. As an additional benefit, the investors will
receive summaries of all the companies in attendance. The FundingPost Event
Calendar and registration information are online at:

After completing a successful "Venture Capital and Angel Investor
Showcase" in Philadelphia last year, along with successful events in the
same format in New York City, Silicon Valley, Boston and Washington, DC,
FundingPost is returning the "VC Showcase" model to Philadelphia to help
local start-ups get the kind of access to Venture Capital and Angel
investment they need to be successful in achieving funding.
During the evening cocktail party, 10+ VC Funds & Angel Groups will be
exhibiting their firms. Each Fund will have their own table set up for the
sole purpose of meeting great new companies. Exhibiting firms include:
* Ben Franklin Technology Partners
* Minority Angel Investment Network
* Mid-Atlantic Angel Group (Innovation Philadelphia)
* NJTC Venture Fund
* Cross Atlantic Capital Partners
* Osage Ventures
* First Round Capital
* LORE Associates
* Delaware Crossing Investor Group
* Robin Hood Ventures
* More Angel Groups and VC Funds to be announced
"We are delighted to be returning to host another VC Showcase in
Philadelphia. The VC and Angel Showcases are successful because both the
entrepreneurs and the investors enjoy the socializing where the roles are
'reversed,'" said Joe Rubin, Director, FundingPost. "There are a lot of
terrific start-up companies in the Philadelphia area and we are pleased to
offer these entrepreneurial companies a showcase where they have access to
leading Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors, and the investors are
excited to see promising new dealflow at this event."
