Venture Capital Seminar and Wine Tasting Night

Chris Wilcock, a long-time new-ventures specialist, gave an overview of being an angel investor, reflecting his experiences of having been a hands-on angel, having teamed up with various angels to vet opportunities and having been in and around enterprise for three decades.

While most people won't become entrepreneurs or work in a VC fund, a lot of people in the corporate world can still be a part of the private-enterprise scene by being angels. Those people are playing a growing role in funding early-stage firms, and even young businesspeople are becoming angels, not just retirees.

Chris also fielded questions about VC from the perspectives of funds, prospective entrepreneurs, screening criteria, evaluation and valuation process, and etc.

The seminar ended with tasting of a wide variety of premium wines imported from Italy, compliments of Ample Vision. All CEG alumni and students enjoyed the event, and improve their wine knowledge in a relaxed setting with friendly people!
