Matt Ridenour, Momentum Venture Management
Show #94 Listen (35:26) Download
Building a fundable team, that's what Momentum Venture Management is all about. Matt Ridenour and his partner place themselves into the management team of startups. With their experience and credibility they close those first big customers and begin the funding process.
How do investors react to this kind of deal? In 2006 Thermark attracted the interest of more than 60 members of Tech Coast Angels and the Pasadena Angels to raise a $1.7M Series A.

Comments
Frank,
With each interview, I keep thinking "Geez, this must be the best interview yet!", but they just keep getting better & better. From my position as an entrepreneur constantly evaluating new paradigm shifts, Matt Ridenour's notions about objectively analyzing one's ideas & getting inside the mind-set of potential investors, make this the best interview yet; & I mean it this time!!!
Thanks again.
