PAST EVENTS TESTIMONIAL:
Endorsement from Mitchell Kominsky, Futureland Ventures:
"I am an investor in early-stage startups that are creating a more sustainable, connected, and resilient future. I recently participated as a judge for a Silicon Valley Investment Forum with Angel Launch, and was very impressed by the quality of startups. In fact, I am in discussions with one of the startups about a possible investment; and am appreciative of Angel Launch making that connection. I highly recommend other investors to judge and attend the programs, and startups to attend or pitch."

Endorsement from Michael Gibstine, Managing Director, Hanover International:
”I work in Silicon Valley and attend many venture forums and investment summits with ENRICH. If you select one event to attend this year, I highly recommend Angel Launch events, either Silicon Valley Funding Summit on January 6 in Las Vegas or Silicon Valley Investing Summit on October 1 in San Francisco.
The events feature high quality attendees from startups, investors and corporate partners; exciting customer experience with lavish food and drinks; and exceptional attendee experience with engaging discussions. The events are impeccably organized with well crafted, thoughtful agendas addressing emerging tech trends; excellent speakers from top tier investment firms, VCs, corporate brands, andnangels; and high level networking opportunities with demo tables. I have had follow up discussionns with many high quality startups or advanced growth companies seeking capital. I highly recommend this summit to any person, company or agency that wants to bolster its connections to Silicon Valley; network with investors; meet high growth startups looking to expand their offices; and learn how toemulate Silicon Valley in your region.”
