If you are looking for seed and early stage capital, The Gathering of Angels is a good source for you as we have since 1996, raised capital for 420+ young companies from 20k to 39MM.
What Can I Expect from GOA as a Presenter?
As a GOA presenter, you are coached and prepared for your 15 minute PowerPoint presentation and receive a template on how to polish your Executive Summary, tighten your 1-2-3 year P&L Financials, exit strategy, and develop a defensible company valuation to insure adequate funding.
GOA has developed Guidelines for Success in the Angel funding process and works with you in preparation, execution of your pitch and assists you in follow up with interested Angel Investors to insure funding.
At GOA, you can expect to present to 25-30+ accredited Angel Investors and Investment Bankers. They normally hear from 3-young companies per GOA meeting for 15 minute each with 2-5 min for Q&A. GOA practice sessions for presenters occur before the event and GOA staff and 3-5 GOA coaches helps you prepare and review your presentation and offer constructive critique and suggestions. GOA also assists and guides you in follow up sessions to facilitate capital funding. We become your focused advocate to fulfill your seed capital needs and make you a GOA Success Story.
To be considered for a presentation at our monthly GOA meetings, you will need to send to GOA a 1-5-page Executive Summary from your current business plan. Once this is reviewed by GOA principals, and it is confirmed that you, in fact, have an investable business concept, you will receive an GOA Engagement Letter from Tarby Bryant, Founder & CEO of the Gathering of Angels.

Each monthly meeting is publicized by Tortorici & Randolph with a news release that reaches hundreds of news media and tens of thousands of their audiences related to finance and angel investing as well as general business news and the industries represented by the month’s presenters. All three monthly presenters are mentioned in each release at no additional cost.
For $250, Tortorici & Randolph will separately generate and distribute a news release plus up to three pictures featuring your company and its presentation to the Gathering of Angels. Then, within a few days, T&S will provide you with a complete report of the release’s massive coverage to print, broadcast and social media – including logos, links, and texts suitable for re-use in your website and other formats and presentations. Posting the optional release online also helps increase the potential of search engine optimization for your company. Contact Tony Tortorici at [email protected] for more information.
