Whats it Take Today to Build a Super Startup?
Panel moderated by Joshua Baer

Today is a very different time and place to start a company than 6 months ago or 2 years ago. What are angel investors and VCs investing in now? What does the new model look like for series A type companies? What metrics are most important to focus the team on? What are the tough decisions todays entrepreneurs are going to face. What are the behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs of some of top performing startup teams and what characteristics are even more important now? For our 5 companies, for the entrepreneurs in the audience, and for future Capital Factory applicants, this panel of investors will share what the future holds for todays startups, and lessons learned that will apply (or not apply) for tomorrow.
