There will always be entrepreneurs with new ideas and new ventures. And there will always be people
ready to help finance these startup companies. It's one of the engines that drives the US economy. And an increasingly larger component of the financing picture is angel investors. In June of last year, our global broadcast explained angel investing. In our "sequel" presentation on June 7th, the MIT Enterprise Forum presents a hands-on, real-world examination of how entrepreneurs can approach angel investors, and tactical advice on how both parties work together to craft a financing agreement that benefits all. Produced
in association with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and the Angel Capital Education Foundation, program attendees and viewers will learn:

	How to find angels
	What is, and isn't, a good fit
	When to work with VC instead, or with both angels and VCs combined
	How to pitch
	How to work together after funding

This event will follow a popular two part format:
