Pantegrion Capital, an angel investment vehicle focused on seed and early stage investments. She’s an energetic, mac ‘n cheese lover who, prior to founding Pantegrion Capital, held over 10 years of experience in the financial industry, which included her entrepreneurial journey as the first employee and CAO of a multi-billion dollar private equity firm. As if she didn’t have enough to keep her busy, she currently gives of her time on the Board of Directors of
New York Angels, Everwaters, and
HeTexted, and is a member of
WomenCorporateDirectors.
Beyond sharing her tips and best practices on pitch decks, attracting investors, and raising capital to grow a business at EntreFEST, she’ll also touch on pitfalls to avoid and how building a robust Advisory Board can propel your business forward. You can pretty much bet you’ll also come away from Alicia’s time at EntreFEST with some inspiration and confidence. She recently told us, “Thousands of entrepreneurs all over the world are risking everything to pursue their dreams. I think that if others can be so courageous then I can take a jump into the unknown too.”
She’s all about instilling the mentality of acting on the idea that’s been in the back of your mind that you keep putting off…just do it! If you’ve been dreaming of launching a company, start the incorporation process. If you’re dying to bounce ideas off someone, bounce ‘em. Whatever challenge it is that you’re a little nervous about, use her story as an excuse to just do it.
This power lady is also a recurring panelist on CNBC’s Power Pitch and has appeared on CNBC’s Cash Crowd, MSNBC’s Your Business, Nightly Business Report (NBR) on PBS, and Fox Business’s Risk & Reward. She was named as one of the “25 Angel Investors in New York You Need to Know” by AlleyWatch. She has been featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, Inc., The Huffington Post, Mashable, and USA Today and also served as an Instructor with Steve Blank in his Lean Launchpad course at Columbia Business School.
We’re excited to have her join us at EntreFEST this year! Sign up to attend EntreFEST today![/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
