Yesterday, Brian Cohen spoke at the Princeton Tech Meetup #11, providing some insider tips on what Angel Investors want Entrepreneurs to know. We'll be sharing some of the insights we gleaned later in this blog post. First, we want to help Brian promote the book that he co-authored which is debuting in April. For a short time, the book will be available for half price on Amazon to pre-order. To get it at the discounted price now, click on our affiliate link below: What did we learn from Brian?

If you are getting ready to launch your company, you'll also want to check out the new company created by Brian and Trace Cohen, Launch.it. It's a free newsroom for you to publish your story. And if you're not ready to launch yet but you need funding from an Angel Investor, then let us remind you that there's always more advice you can get from Brian's book!
