SUMMARY:What\, Why & How: Creating Core Messaging
DESCRIPTION:How you talk about your business in your core messaging is foundational for all of your marketing. A boilerplate is a paragraph with general information about your company that goes at the bottom of a press release. This messaging is the catalyst for creating marketing materials that will land customers\, go on your website\, and get press coverage. \nThe boilerplate should follow a simple formula stating three key points: what you do\, why it matters\, and how it’s different from others. In this session\, we will use cross-industry examples and team breakouts to create your company’s boilerplate message. \nAbout the speakers: \nKristy Campbell\, Chief Operating Officer\, Rev1 Ventures \n\n\nKristy has spent her 20+ year career working with – and within – tech startups to help them build their brand\, grow revenue and scale. As Rev1’s COO and resident CMO\, she leads the entrepreneur programs and partnerships that support Rev1’s portfolio growth. Kristy also works directly with companies to implement focused sales and marketing efforts\, helping companies generate awareness\, first customers\, and a repeatable sales pipeline. Kristy previously held executive-level positions with Manta.com – the largest online small business directory\, and Saama Technologies\, a leading Business Intelligence services firm.

SUMMARY:Inside the Mind of an Angel Investor
DESCRIPTION:Before you request a meeting with a fund manager or angel group\, it is important to understand what’s going through their minds. Learn how to position your company for a better chance of consideration. \nMichael Kindrat-Pratt\, Ohio TechAngels Fund\, senior director\, and Parker MacDonell\, Managing Director of OTAF\, will discuss the traps entrepreneurs often fall into when speaking to angel investors. Learn how to avoid phrases or ideas that could get your startup shown the door. \nThoughts all investors have during bad pitches: \n1. “Please don’t waste my time or yours with a lifestyle business that has no potential to scale.” You would be better off with a bank loan. \n2. “Hockey season is over in early June.” Do not forecast a growth in revenues over five years that looks like a hockey stick. \n3. “Does this entrepreneur understand that I have no interest in using my money to pay her or him a six-figure salary?” Many angels are cashed out entrepreneurs. \n4. “Does she or he have any idea that there have been less than two dozen IPOs in the last 24 months?”  Express a willingness to IPO\, but lead the discussion with a list of potential companies that might acquire your firm and why they would pay enough. \nSPEAKERS: \nMichael Kindrat-Pratt\, Senior Director\, Investment Funds & Ohio TechAngel Funds \nMichael manages activity related to the Ohio TechAngels Funds (OTAF)\, including initial investment\, deal screening\, pitch preparation\, due diligence\, terms\, and investment. Michael has a BS in Management from Boston College. \nParker MacDonell\, Managing Director of OTAF \nParker leads the Ohio TechAngel Funds\, which invest in seed-stage Ohio companies. He formerly led the Rev1 Advisor Network\, matching engaged client companies with business leaders for one-on-one advice and mentoring. Parker holds a BA in Music from Dartmouth College and a Masters of Public and Private Management from the Yale School of Management.
