The Pipeline Fellowship will launch its signature conference on angel investing in the Bay Area on Friday, October 5, 2012.

The 2012 Bay Area Pipeline Fellowship Conference, which is sponsored by Goodwin Procter LLP, provides an overview of key aspects in the angel investing process. The day-long event will be led by Pipeline Fellowship Mentor Susan Preston of the Angel Resource Institute.

“At the 2012 NYC Pipeline Fellowship Conference, speakers such as Joanne Wilson, Pipeline Fellowship Mentor Christina Brodbeck, and Deborah Jackson shared what they look for when deciding to invest in a company,” remarked Pipeline Angel Anna Curran, “The speakers were very candid about the deeper reasons behind many of the common practices in angel investing. It’s rare to get this kind of insight.”
