| Dave Berkus, 1999 FCD Director of the Year honoree and Southern California angel investor, will be the featured speaker at FCD’s May 21 dinner event. He will present his vision of the ideal board or companies at the early stage angel and venture post-funding level. Berkus has been working with entrepreneurs and early stage investors for 15 years. He has served more than 40 early stage companies since 1993 and is presently chairman of six and member of four early stage boards. Author of two books and many articles on board-building, Berkus asks the tough questions about the fragile and complex relationship between young boards and founders, the expectations of each, and the responsibilities of the board in early stage business-building. His focus on the early post-funding stage presents a view of board-building from a different vantage point than is usually presented to FCD members. |
