ZINO Society Entrepreneur Testimonials

"Thank you for creating the most Entrepreneur-friendly Angel  Investor's Organization. Without me presenting at ZINO and making connections  - I wouldn't be where I am right now. My company is now bound for success, we are making money - Thanks in part to you!" 

     - Ksenia Oustiougova, lilipip

"The Zillionaire event was a true catalyst that has helped take the company to the next level. Pitching a biomaterials company to a large and diverse group of investors in 5 minutes forced us to hone our message and focus on the core aspects that investors care about. The visibility and recognition we received as a result of receiving the award has helped to open doors to other sources of funding, enabling Healionics to raise $3M from angel investors in less than 5 months.

     - Robert Brown, Healionics, President (2007 Best Technology Investment)

"In terms of our startup fundraising experience over the last year, none was more important that the Zino Society. Not only was the screening process a great experience, but the day itself was a wonderful roller coaster ride!Since that day, working with the entire Zino team has been outstanding, from simple things like coaching, access to additional capital and actually opening customer doors.  Anyone who is starting a business needs to apply to the Zillionaire Forum!

     - Ben Finklea, END//outdoor (2007 Best Non-Technology Investment and Best Overall Investment)

"The publicity associated with winning the Zillionaire fund was a turning point for Novinium's capital raising efforts. Including the Zino $100k, we raised about $7M in 18 months. The quantity and quality of our capital competitors at the Zino event added cache' and credibility to our win that persisted into our subsequent institutional financing round. The folks at the Zino society provided the best coaching and event experience of all the events in which Novinium participated. We are honored to have made many good friends through our Zino participation.

     - Glen Bertini, Novinium, President (2006 Best Investment)

"Getting in front of investors isn’t enough to raise money. You need to get in front of investors that have a shared interest and passion for the entrepreneur’s business – or at least can get excited about it! ZINO Society does a fantastic job of matching entrepreneurs with their members’ interests. The investors attracted to my business didn’t just write checks – they’ve opened doors that are having a significant impact on my business."
