SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/11/07 -- Keiretsu Forum, the world's largest angel investment community, will hold its second Northern California Angel Capital Expo on Friday, November 16 from 7:30am to 3:30pm at the Microsoft Campus in Mountain View, CA.

Angel Capital Expo is a premiere gathering of angel investors and entrepreneurs seeking funding capital to grow their businesses. At the Silicon Valley Angel Capital Expo on November 16 more than 300 of the Bay Area's most active and respected angel investors will attend. In addition to Keiretsu Forum's Bay Area members, members from many of the Bay Area's other angel groups, including Sacramento Angels, the Sand Hill Angels, and the Sierra Angels, will attend the all-day event.

"The incredible quality and number of both presenting entrepreneurs and attending investors will make this an exceptional event for the Bay Area angel investing community," said Randy Williams, CEO and founder of Keiretsu Forum.

Angel Capital Expo will feature twelve presentations from early stage companies in technology, life sciences, consumer products, real estate, financial services, social ventures and other segments with high growth potential. All presenters will be pre-screened by a select committee of Keiretsu Forum members. Each entrepreneur will make a 15-minute presentation and will be available for additional discussion and due diligence at their executive booth throughout the day. Following the presentations, the attendees will vote and award the top three presenting companies the "Most Valued Company" award.

"The Angel Capital Expo offers a great opportunity to connect great start ups with motivated investors and provides a perfect platform to jumpstart a start up company's fundraising efforts," said Sam Reich-Dagnen, CEO of Braincandy, one of the "Most Valued Company" award winners at the inaugural Angel Capital Expo, which took place in San Francisco in April. "Participating in the Keiretsu Forum's Angel Capital Expo was a fantastic experience for Braincandy. We had the opportunity to tell our story to over 400 qualified, savvy investors in an environment that was designed to offer the best chance for success -- both for us and the investors."
