1. I paid for it out of my pocket to start. So, I lost money on the event at the start with the hope to start making money off the angel investing I do in the companies. Basically it was my way to get deal flow.
2. We started getting 2-4 lawyers, accountants, etc. to pay $1,500 to come to the event. Each event cost $2-5k to run.. so this made the events breakeven.
3. WE just got two $50,000 a YEAR national partners (sponsors), and that has helped us hire a General Manager that starts on May 1st. IT will help us get to 10 cities in 2010. Up next: Boston, Seattle, Austin, DC, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv and London (five of those).
