The
ZINO Society team has been working very hard over the past few weeks to put together our upcoming
ZINO Life Investment Forum which will occur this coming
Tuesday, March 8th at the
Pan Pacific Hotel in Seattle. I want to recognize them with a big THANK YOU for all their efforts to produce what I know will be a fascinating and productive angel investment forum!
Kristie Lanum, our Chief Dealflow Officer, has done a masterful job of recruiting, screening, scheduling coaching and preparing 13
ZINOpreneurs to share 7 minute pitches describing their companies during the afternoon event plus a traction update from our
ZZIF 2007 Fund Winner,
Healionics. Please see the full list of presenting entrepreneurs at the end of this blog posting.
Mary Holmes, our Chief Marketing Officer, has put together a fascinating, expert panel including
John Bowers of
SonoSite,
Tom Clement of
Pathway Medical Technologies,
Chris Rivera of
WBBA,
Dave Schubert of
Accelerator Corporation, and
Alan Smith of
Fenwick & West who will share their perspectives on the life sciences business sector and also ask the selected
ZINO Life 2011 Fund Finalists follow-up
Due Diligence LIVE! questions at the end of the afternoon.
ZINO Life attendees will choose the "best investment opportunity" and the "best presenter"
ZINO Zenith Awards which will be awarded at the end of the business session. The
ZINO Annual Angel Investment Forums Fund investors will select four "best investment opportunity" finalists whom the investors will enter into due diligence following the forum.
