Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum: 2010-11 Angel & Venture Capital Investment Overview

2009 saw an unprecedented restructuring of the financial markets and, while 2010 has signaled a tentative recovery of sorts for angel and venture capital investors, the investment environment remains weak. Investors, entrepreneurs and start-up companies have been forced to adapt to a new investment environment that some believe will last for years. For angel and venture capital investors the weak economic environment and lack of meaningful exits have turned early stage investing on its head, with seed and angel funds becoming more active than ever before. Please join our panel of expert angel and venture capital investors for a look at early stage investing during the past year and what the future investment environment holds. The presentation will also include a review of the key metrics for venture capital investments/exits and critical VC term sheet terms for Q2 2010. This will be a thought provoking and informative session you will not want to miss!

· Ray Rothrock, Partner- Venrock
