Meet, greet, and learn the art of the pitch from the Tech Coast Angels, the nation’s largest and most active network of angel investors.

This is a “must attend” event for entrepreneurs looking to jump-start their entrepreneurial dreams and for investors seeking to hear about the latest in innovation in Southern California.

WHAT : Fifteen companies will present two-minute funding pitches to a blue ribbon panel of judges and an audience of more than 250 leaders from the local entrepreneur community. Judges will assess presentations during the hour-long “speed” competition, ultimately selecting a winner in each of three categories: content, style and best all-around. The all-around winner will be invited to make a full presentation to Tech Coast Angels (TCA) membership. Content and style category winners will be invited to present to the TCA Seed Track.

WHY : Quick Pitch is an investment and visibility opportunity for local entrepreneurs who are seeking revenue and believe their company or idea offers timely and significant growth opportunities for investors. As available VC funding decreases and competition for VC dollars grows, funding available through well-organized angel groups such as TCA is increasingly critical for emerging companies.

WHEN : Thursday, October 2, 2008, 6:00-8:30 p.m.

WHERE : QUALCOMM Q – Auditorium, 6455 Lusk Blvd., San Diego
