Testimonials

“Keiretsu Forum provided tremendous capital and intellectual resources, which will enable Signalink to drive the sales of our current first generation product. With its well-managed groups, excellent employees, and vast network of high quality, accredited investors, Keiretsu Forum is the standard of excellence in the North American angel community.”
—Ed Alfke, CEO of Signalink and long-time angel investor (funding press release)

“Keiretsu Forum is an unbelievably efficient and effective way for an early-stage company to receive both the funding, connections, and resources needed to take a company to the next level. The Puroast® experience couldn’t have turned out better. In just two days of presentations and a few months of follow up, we achieved our funding goal, successfully navigated through the extensive Keiretsu Forum-led due diligence process, added two quality members to our advisory board, and established strong messaging about the mass market opportunity for Puroast® Low Acid Coffee.”
—Kerry Sachs, CEO of Puroast® Low Acid Coffee (funding press release)

 “In just a few days’ worth of presentations, I was able to connect with hundreds of Keiretsu Forum’s qualified, well-connected, and helpful angel investors. Keiretsu Forum provides the world’s most efficient process for a company to raise the capital needed to take it to the next level, and I am proud to be both a member and the CEO of one of their portfolio companies.”
—Linda Jenkinson, CEO of Les Concierges (funding press release)

 “I never understood the true power and benefit of an organized, institutional angel investment network until I came to Keiretsu Forum and presented at the Angel Capital Expo. Keiretsu Forum truly understands the value of an entrepreneur’s time and has created the most efficient and effective way for an early stage start-up company to raise the capital necessary to take their company to the next level.”
—Chris Romine, CEO of S.two, the “Most Valued Company” winner from the November 2007 Expo in Silicon Valley (Angel Capital Expo press release)

“Angel Capital Expo surpassed our expectations and provided us with unprecedented access to hundreds of investors in our target range all at once. It would have taken months of travel and tens of thousands of dollars to meet with that many high quality investors individually. There’s nothing else like it in the country or even in the world. In addition to connecting with sources of capital, the connections, referrals, and support offered by the Keiretsu Forum community were especially helpful. Many of the Keiretsu Forum members are former entrepreneurs themselves, and they freely offer their wisdom about what it takes to build a successful business from the ground up.”
—TIXEM, Inc CEO Victor Kucek

“Building a company is a journey, and Keiretsu Forum is the ultimate guide. The level of attendance, excitement, and the tremendous quality of the questions being asked all reflect the high quality of the Keiretsu Forum process.” 
—PEAK 15 CEO James O’ Leonard

“The association that PakSense has enjoyed with the Keiretsu Forum has proved to be instrumental in our company’s growth. They have provided an environment for introductions, not only to investors, but also to business and industry experts, many of whom have stepped up to help our company in different ways.”
—PakSense Chairman and CEO Thomas Jensen (funding press release)

“Keiretsu Forum provides an extremely efficient and effective way for entrepreneurs like me to raise the capital needed to grow a business. In just three days of presentations, I was able to introduce my company to over 300 accredited investors. However, it is not just the financial capital, but the opportunity to access and tap into the extensive networks within Keiretsu Forum that is equally essential to our company’s success.”
