The NBAI
Investor Meeting is the premier private

groups, successful entrepreneurs, premier service providers

Equity Investor Forum - is the event to attend. Read
More
This is an Angel Investor membership and networking organization
founded in
1994. Our members are active stock market, real estate
or private equity investors, who accumulate income producing assets
that rank in the top 10% of the American population.
Investing shares in private companies earns 4 times or more
the investment far exceeding stock and real estate portfolios. http://launchfn.com/id150.html.
NBAI Membership: We
continue to grow our membership and are taking an active role in
helping early stage companies become viable so that can contribute to
our economic recover with new jobs and new wealth to be created for
those investors with the vision to participate.
With our recent move to join the Angel Capital Association, NBAI now
offers its members access to the additional capital and expertise to
mitigate risk in their private investments. If you
exploring private equity as an alternative asset class to rebuild your
portfolio, or you know someone that has had a recent change in their
financial circumstances so that getting involved in angel investing may
have an appeal to them and joining the "country club for investors",
then please make plans to attend this event and bring your friend with
you. This is a high-end networking and cocktail
party, with the added benefit of seeing quality and compelling
presentations from exciting innovative companies.
Many
high-profile investors will be attending from throughout the Southeast,
in addition to partners from many of the nation's leading private
equity and venture capital firms. It would be our pleasure to have you
join us for this special gathering for distinguished members of the
private equity and venture community. More information about the forum
can be found at http://launchfn.com/id150.html.

that The Network of Business Angels & Investors, which hosts
the event, must provide the the Ravinia Club with a guarantee in regard
to the number of confirmed guests for the forum and reception. In
addition, they certify the roster of investor participants to the

request the application from Elbie and an appointment will be scheduled
with you to ensure it is a good fit for you and our existing members.
About the Forum: In
keeping with tradition, this will be an upscale "invitation-only" venue
designed to provide ultra high-end "peer-to-peer" networking. The NBAI
Monthly Member Meetings are "investor-centric" social gatherings with a
decided business intent to review investment opportunities for
increasing the value of the portfolio of the
investor. As a result, these events are known for
being well attended "deal-oriented" gatherings, focused on
both early and emerging growth-stage opportunities. The forum will
include pre-qualified innovative company presentations, introductions
and exhibitor fast pitch presentations, investor only company review
session, intimate high level networking with CEO's, and open bar
reception. Companies that are referred by another angel group in the
ACA network pay a nominal fee to participate. Other
companies benefit from the services offered by LAUNCHfn to ready them
and prepare them to qualify for your investment
consideration. As an investor, this save
you time and money in that you know you will see qualified deals in a
compact period of time to make an early determination about whether or
not to move in to the due diligence phase with your fellow investors in
attendance or in the ACA network.
Presenting Companies:
The Forum will be extremely relevant for investors who are seeking to
commit capital and to locate new financial partners. A slate of
approximately five early and emerging growth-stage companies will be
featured on the program. All companies presenting will have
been professionally screened from other presenter candidates. To see
the most recent list of companies who have presented in the past,
please visit http://launchfn.com/id172.html. These companies
are drawn from around the United States from our extensive national
network of the event coordinator, LAUNCHfn and our database, which
allows us to showcase companies that guests are not likely to see
anywhere else. The companies being introduced at the event are selected
on the basis that they represent genuine funding opportunities, which
will stand-up under the scrutiny of investment professionals and
experienced business people. The companies showcased will be early to
emerging growth-stage and can range from pre-revenue to about $5
million in sales. Unless they have an exceptionally strong platform
technology, any pre-revenue companies chosen from the companies
attending to present at the forum, will be at the point where they are
ready to begin the commercialization process or have started marketing
their products. The majority of the companies presenting will be
seeking expansion capital and have been nominated by the groups who
have or are in the midst of providing the "A" and/or "B" round
financing. Most have clearly proven-out their products and business
models. If you would like to see serious investment choices, I believe
that this forum will be about as good as it gets. It will definitely
give you a chance to enhance your deal-flow for 2009.
Industry Sectors and Selection
Criteria: Conference participants will see emerging growth
opportunities from throughout the U.S. These companies will have been
pre-screened to address the "common sense" criteria of value, proof of
concept, proprietary edge, scalability, competitive advantage and
potential for success; applied by most venture capitalists, Angel
investors, investment partnerships and private equity funds. Presenting
companies at the event are primarily drawn from the following business
sectors: Enterprise Software - Advanced Materials - Healthcare Services
- Life Sciences - Specialty Retail - Computer Technology - Energy
Technology - Medical Devices - Education & Training -
Manufacturing Technology - New Media and Publishing - Financial
Services - Medical Technology - Information Management Systems -
Distance Learning - Consumer Marketing - Outsourced Business Services -
Telecommunications - Consumer Products - Network Security - Wireless -
Internet-Based Business Solutions - Supply Chain Management - Business
Process Management - Alternative Fuel - Green Centric Business Models
and Mobile Communications.
If
you have a desire to look at high risk, yet high reward investment
opportunities, and can adjust your schedule to spend an afternoon with
us, I think that you will find this event to be an excellent reason to
get out of the office or extend a trip to Atlanta as part of your
travels or already planned visit. It will to be a unique occasion to
see some dynamic, next generation companies with truly breakthrough
technologies and original scalable business models that can very well
"shape the
future" of their respective industries. If you are actively looking for
"fundable deals" or simply want to expand your universe of top-tier
relationships, you should very much consider attending. Particularly
important in today's business environment, is that this event will
provide an ideal opportunity to exchange ideas and viewpoints on the
issues that affect both new investment decisions as well as your
portfolio companies. This venue could also be an excellent way to
enhance your deal flow while making important first-tier contacts.
Investments now will be at the lowest valuation and will rise with the
anticipated economy recovery to increase the likelihood of a favorable
exit in a few years.

If you or your firm is actively
looking at new investments, you should definitely plan to attend. Many early and later-stage opportunities
are considered before we select the 4 to 6 companies that present at the forum. We know how difficult it is today's market
to find truly fundable deals with scaleable business models and proven traction in their market. In fact, this is why so many
and fund managers, venture capital and private equity firms our events. They have found our forums to be a valuable use of
their time in seeking-out potentially profitable investments. These events also offer an ideal setting to
meet prospective financial partners among the investment professionals who are expected to attend. Experienced and professional
investors know that it is in uncertain periods like this that sometimes the best investment opportunities can be found, and
on the best terms. Now could be "right time" to start focusing your next portfolio investments while valuations
make sense and most new equity dollars remain on the sidelines. This conference could be the best way to start building your
deal flow and finding new investment partners for 2008. This Forum will be a unique opportunity for you to meet other senior
partners, managing directors, and chief investment officers in private equity and venture capital firms.
