On February 3, 2011, 30+ of the leading Venture Capital and Angel Investor Groups in the New York area will present at FundingPosts (http://www.FundingPost.com) NYC Venture Capital Showcase sponsored by Credit Suisse.

As an additional benefit, the investors will receive summaries of every company in attendance. Registration information is online at: http://www.fundingpost.com/breakfast/reg1.asp?event=179&refer=PR
