Entrepreneurs and Angel Investors Meet in New York

     FundingPost Hosts an Event that Introduces Local Angel Investors and
                          Entrepreneurial Companies

    NEW YORK, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 20th, FundingPost
(http://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.  For
more information about this event, the FundingPost Event Calendar and
registration information are available online:

    After hosting a highly successful series of Angel Investing events in
2004, FundingPost is continuing this proven formula again this year.
FundingPost already hosted its Fall Angel event in Philadelphia on September
21st, and now it is preparing to return to New York.  The panelists for the
event include:

    * Howard Morgan, Director, IdeaLab & Member, NY Angels
    * Sandy Nemitz, Angel Investor
    * Ellen Sandles, Exec Dir, Tri-State Private Investors
    * Chris Starr, VP Investments, Innovation PA & Mid-Atlantic Angel Group
    * Hugh Cullman, Business Development Principal, SAVP
    * Tim Reese, Founding Member, Minority Angel Investor Network
    * Morgan Rodd, Managing Partner, ArrowPath Venture Partners
    * Alan Kelley, Strategy & Research, Milestone Venture Partners
    * Moderator: John Hempill, Partner, Morrison & Foerster

    Following the breakfast presentation, two companies will have the
opportunity to "pitch" to the entire panel of investors. "It's a fantastic
opportunity for an early-stage company to spend 20 minutes pitching a room
full of Angels and Seed Investors," said Joe Rubin, Director, FundingPost.
"Angel investors and early-stage VCs are always on the lookout for great
ideas, and FundingPost is proud to provide a forum for seed investors to
locate promising new ventures."
