Investor Brown Bag Series

CED’s Investor Brown Bag Series provides an informal opportunity for entrepreneurs who are CED Members to network with and learn more about specific VC, angel groups and corporate venturing groups.  Investors will provide a short, informal presentation about their firm discussing what they fund, why they don’t fund specific entrepreneurs, and reasons they have NOT funded specific entrepreneurs.  The remaining time will be devoted to Q&A and networking.  These free events will be held monthly and are open only to start-up companies who are CED Members.
