DFJ Gotham Ventures & Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati gave a Venture Capital Bootcamp at Columbia University on June 3, 2009. Much of the content is good for Angels as well, and be sure to look through the entire slide presentation; there is some good material in the latter half. (You can also apply to a local FREE bootcamp entitled “Angle for Angels: A Primer for Entrepreneurs on Raising Capital“ put on by the Foothills Angels.)

You can see the video and slides at the Gotham site, but here are the slides that were posted on Slideshare.

Sacramento’s Entrepreneurial community has the resources and intelligence to become an entrepreneurial powerhouse – yesterdays breakfast mixer proves so.

The speakers were all wonderful – they provided great insight into all of Sacramento’s centric entities. I especially enjoyed an experienced VentureStart mentor’s explanation: “As a VentureStart mentor, we simply show our entrepreneurs bridges they never knew existed!”

I met and exchanged contact info with TONS of people – some will definitely prove to be valuable resources in my near future. I also had a great time hanging out by the SARTA booth & sharing with everyone all of the wonderful programs SARTA has innovated to foster entrepreneurship.

There is no doubt that Sacramento has the energy and intelligence to be a leading hub for Entrepreneurship. Now it should be every participants goal to pull friends & family into our entrepreneurial community and make this goal a reality!
