Boulder Angels: Q2 Pitch Session & University Spinout Panel

​Join us for our Q2 pitch session and University Spinout Speaker Panel, proudly supported by Silicon Valley Bank, a Division of First Citizens Bank.

​This event will be held at the Leeds School of Business in room KOBL 352 (on the third floor).

​​We have four amazing companies presenting from a variety of industries and backgrounds.

​​​Company pitches and investor discussion will be from 3:15-4:45pm MST. We will then have discussion amongst the investors, before beginning our speaker panel at 5:15pm. The panel will run until 6pm, followed by networking and refreshments.

​Our speaker panel will consist of deeptech investors, university licensing experts, IP attorneys, and founders for a candid discussion on evaluating and investing in tech transfer startups, and the most common early-stage pitfalls in licensing, GTM, and fundraising that university spinout founders face. Whether you're an angel looking to sharpen your deeptech due diligence or a founder navigating the commercialization of IP, this conversation will offer rare, practitioner-level insight from every seat at the table.

​Speakers include:

• ​Tasso von Windheim, Investor, Buff Gold Ventures

• ​Josh Bennett, Assistant Director of Licensing and Director of the Lab Venture Challenge, Venture Partners at CU Boulder

• ​Justin Whiteley, CEO and Co-Founder, Kioga

• ​Chris Byrne, decorated silicon valley IP Attorney and Moderator

​​​This will be a hybrid session, offering a chance for investor members and founders to meet each other in person and allow out-of-state members/founders to participate.

​​​Pitch sessions are the primary venue for members to meet in person and develop the relationships that make Boulder Angels so special. Please attend in person if you are able.

​​​A zoom link will be sent out prior to the session for attendees outside Colorado.
