Angel Capital Expo is the premier gathering of angel investors and entrepreneurs seeking funding capital to grow their businesses. On May 2nd more than 300 of the Bay Area's most active and respected angel investors will attend the Expo.

"Our Angel Capital Expo provides a unique opportunity for collective collaboration in the world of angel investing," said Randy Williams, Founder and CEO of Keiretsu Forum. "We are proud to play a seminal role in the growth of start-up businesses and job creation at a local, national, and international level."

Angel Capital Expo will feature a dozen presentations from early stage companies in technology, life sciences, consumer products, real estate, financial services, social ventures, and other segments with high growth potential. All presenters will be pre-screened by a select committee of Keiretsu Forum members. Each entrepreneur will make a 15-minute presentation and will be available for additional discussion and due diligence at their exhibitor booth throughout the day.

Following the presentations, the attendees will vote and award the top three presenting companies the "Most Valued Company" award. At the November 15th, 2012 Angel Capital Expo this award went to Sword Diagnostics, a detection technology used for disease diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. "The Expo has represented a great event to not only meet investors, but it also has been a great place to meet potential partners and network to resources that will help make us successful," said Dave Dingott, CEO of Sword Diagnostics.
