First Impressions provides SVASE entrepreneurs with the
opportunity to present to and receive formal structured
feedback from prominent members of the entrepreneurial and
venture funding communities. This is a great way to gain first
hand experience on pitching for Venture Capital, make
connections with VCs and Angels, and get a clear understanding
on how to move your business forward.

"After making my presentation at First Impressions, I got five
leads to investors, including three VCs that would have been
very difficult, if not impossible, to obtain on my own. I've
already set appointments with each of them for follow-on
presentations." John Matthesen, CEO, Byte Blaze

The Panel & Audience:
The Panel and audience are drawn from SVASE Charter Members,
Legends, Board Members and invited VIP Guests, including Bill
Reichert of Garage; Antonio Salerno, Band of Angels; Stewart
Sonnenfeldt, Sand Hill Angels; Eric Dunn, Cardinal Ventures;
David Aslin, 3I; Ken Brenner, Bridge Bank; Joe Blank, Keiretsu
Forum, Jim Chapman, Silicon Valley Law Group; Laura Roden, The
Angels Forum; Roy Sardina, Vallence Capital; Jim Simmons,
Draper Richards.

SVASE entrepreneurs looking for experience in delivering their
pitch, who are prepared to use the suggested First Impressions
10 slide presentation format, and can provide most, if not all,
of the required information on their company and business
proposition. To obtain a copy of the First Impressions 10 slide
