Thanks for the great event all, to my colleagues for the excellent insights and Q&A, and to the entire audience for a great turn out and on-point questions. @Denyelle and anybody else who would like some more in depth info (since we curtailed things a bit), I'll be sending a full copy of my power point with detailed notes included to Anna and may also be contacted directly at [masked] if you'd like to request a copy for your further reference.

Needed more entrepreneurs and investors in the mix. The only one there was great and often added depth or conflicting views with the others, who were more on the admin side of investment (lawyers). Still, one always learns something.
F&F would do well to have things set up well beforehand, avoiding missteps like failing mics, unplugged computers and dying batteries.March 30, 2012

Went off topic and didn't get through presentation. I sent a note asking for a copy so I could finish reading it and haven't heard back.

Very useful and detailed presentation from the lawyers. I especially liked the fact that an entrepreneur/angel was there to give his perspective too.

the presentations and answers to questions were a little bit too generic; so, i already knew those issues. would be great to have concrete examples, best (or worst) practices.
evertheless it is always great to meet, to share, to get to know each other.March 29, 2012

Hello Michael, I liked the idea that people owning a business or would like to plan one is a good thing. Maybe if not trying to enroll is right for me I would rather learn about how it works.
