When it comes to getting a crucial callback from a potential funder, an effective presentation goes a long way. This panel of local investors will share insights on what they listen for when taking a pitch from a startup. UW and Microsoft alumnus Ken Horenstein invests in UW-affiliated projects; Elizabeth Cross Nichol is a former clinician and hospital administrator; and Elisa La Cava, formerly of Madrona, focuses on early-stage tech companies. Bring questions!

Fundamentals for Startups is a weekly one-hour lecture series featuring notable experts who share startup-related information, experience, and insights with our entrepreneurial community.
