Hope all is well and I will look forward to getting together with you in preparation for our "Next Big Thing" in Tucson.

I need to mention two scenarios: my daughter, Claire, in California was forwarded our podcast from Curtis Gunn the new leader of Desert Angels. She was quite impressed.

More interesting, we are finalizing a deal with O******** L*** out of Maryland. (Another of our "out of state", "syndications deals"). We have probably 10 investors for short money but syndicating as part of a $1.2M round.

The CEO was frantically trying to reach me last Friday. We had set us a final, final due diligence call for later in the day. I had met with him in our screening, regular meeting, and one update over the last four months. I was committed to make an investment, unbeknownst to him. He called me and said, "One of my friends sent me and I listened to the Frank Peters Show and I am calling to ask for your money as I understand you will not invest without the CEO asking for the investment... " He said he found it quite interesting.

I had liked him enough and had enough contact without actually doing the physical phone call; however, the point was not lost on him or the value of that personal contact with each investor. Our due diligence leader had done a powerful job; however, it was very impressive that he took our session to heart. Powerful stuff.

Thanks for sharing the wonderful world of Angel Investing with so many.

Your appreciative friend, Mic
