2 questions about our conference (Capital On Stage)

Hi guys,

We're organizing a conference that has investors present themselves to startups (instead of the other way around), because we feel investors shouldn't hide themselves behind their back-to-1998 websites or in the back of the room. We should get to know and understand them better.

The program consists of 3 great speakers, 20 investor presentations and more neat stuff. We already have a bunch of high quality startups and investors attending.

2 questions:

1) What would you absolutely like to know from these investors?

2) How could we attract even more and better startups & investors?

Thanks!

Sander

PS. The conference can be found at http://www.capitalonstage.com and will be held on the 14th of September (2011) in Amsterdam
