Back-of-the-Napkin Presentations at ZZIF

This year at ZINO Zillionaire Investment Forum (ZZIF), we are trying something new.  In addition to our traditional 5-minute presentations by entrepreneurs vying for the ZZIF $100,000 Angel Investment Fund, there will be an additional group of 2-minute "Back-of-the-Napkin" presentations by entrepreneurs who are also seeking funding but not eligible for the ZZIF Investment Fund.  A VC Panel including Bill Bryant, Andy Dale, Rick LeFaivre, Warren Gouk, Ron Howell, Daniel Kingston and Gregg Semler will provide immediate feedback to the presenting entrepreneurs about which of these early-stage companies appear to be most ready for investment and what the tipping point is for them in making their decisions.
