This Wednesday, about 300 angel investors will be attending the Northeast Regional Angel Investor Conference, which is being held in Portsmouth, NH (about an hour outside of Boston). Since the theme is East meets West, I was invited to speak on the topic of TechStars and the mentorship driven investment model that powers it. Other presenters include Luis Villalobos (founder of California's Tech Coast Angels and Managing Director at Angel Venture Partners), and Jeffrey Sohl, a respected expert on angel investing and the Director of the Center for Venture Research and Professor of Entrepreneurship and Decision Sciences at the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire (whew!). If you happen to be reading this in the northeast and would like to register for the conference, please do. If you're going to be there, please let me know so I can be sure to say hello.
