Yesterday I had the honor of moderating the plenary panel on Funding Innovation in Indiana at the TechPoint Innovation Summit.  This was just a great event. 

The panel members included Michael Brown of Battery Ventures - Boston, Michael Arpey of Credit Suisse - New York, Steve Hourigan of the 21st Century Fund, Mathias Schilling of BV Capital - San Francisco, and Bob Compton, a serial entrepreneur most recently founding Vontoo, LLC.  I want to thank the members once again for their participation.  

The panel members represent private equity investors, angel investor groups, and grant funding organizations which look for funding and investment opportunities in Indiana technology companies.  Each came with unique perspectives and advice for businesses and business owners seeking funding.  Each has been a part of funding innovation in Indiana in the past, and each are looking for opportunities in the future.

My firm focuses on SaaS law, Internet law and funding law for technology companies.  We serve as general counsel to companies in these industries and have walked with several businesses through the funding process.  I am very proud to have shared in the event this week with such a prestigious group.

My colleague, Janet Croswell, mentioned to me afterwords that our panel set-up looked much like Kramer's talk show on Seinfeld.  See the picture above.  She may be right!
