Every aspiring entrepreneur dreams of attracting a venture capitalist or angel investor like this week’s guest, David Freschman, Managing Principal of Innovation Capital Advisors. David has guided 30+ portfolio firms to investment funding, financial stability, growth, and exit opportunities. An “old school VC with a new school edge,” he’ll share his unique perspective on what an early-stage investor looks for and why the most interesting entrepreneur is one who is “solving a problem that no one else can see.” He'll talk about the opportunities emerging from innovations in the payments industry and from the new technologies evolving around ecommerce. We'll look at the impact social media is having on early-stage companies — especially on how they interact with customers and vendors and how they reach out to drive their emerging businesses. And why, come September, you should think about attending David's exciting venture capital showcase, Early Stage East.
