We are pleased to present this fundfindr.tv production of one of the most engaging panels from Internet Marketing Conference Vancouver 2008.  While the panel is from a few months ago, all of the insights and tips are very valid today.  Well worth a look.  Please note, the video does run 40 minutes.

The panelists included writing experts Crawford Kilian, Elizabeth Southall, Monique Trottier, Tom McNamara and Jim DelaHunt.  For more on this panel, click here. Other tips and advice on Internet Marketing are available at the tag IMC.

Last year, fundfindr helped top start-ups that we featured on fundfindr.com or had networked with get an audience with the producers of CBC TV’s Dragon’s Den.  The producers at the time told us they appreciate our ability to filter deal flow and that the Dragon’s were getting testy - “if we see one more Web 2.0 start-up…”

That said, whether you are a tech start-up or something more traditional, fundfindr may be able to assist you in standing out from other applicants.

The fact is video is an important part of raising investment today - both to refine your pitch and to distribute it.

If you upload a free video pitch yourself at www.fundfindr.com, we will review and share top prospects with the show’s producers.

Plus you will reach an audience of Angels - not Dragon’s - and be able to easily share your pitch with prospects directly.

If you would like our Riiplay.tv service to help produce a professional video pitch for your application to the Dragon’s Den, Angel Forum, Angelsoft, VANTEC or other investor sites, we’ll make sure as Danny Robinson says “…you look good even if you aren’t”.  Thanks Danny!

We had the pleasure of working with Mike to produce a series of  minute long “success snacks” for fundfindr.tv, so named as they are easy to digest, tasty and good for you. A quick shoot, some sweet edits courtesy of Ben Z. Cooper and then distribution on blogs, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, RSS and more.  A fresh new meaning for the term:  Net result. Branding, reach and an very effective marketing approach for our A.D.D. times.

Video has a unique ability to demonstrate your magic in an attention-getting way.   Your customers buy you and your content.  Demo it!  We’re excited about the next collaboration with Virtus as part of our new Riiplay.tv service.  We’d love to  work with you too.  You can showcase your mojo and deliver it online in high quality, at great rates, to great effect.

Knowledge on demand. Your next presentation.  Live Streaming.  Webcam wizadry.  Or even 60 seconds…
