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!

I caught up with Earl Hong Tai, Western Regional Director of Telefim Canada recently at the Fusion Venture Forum. In our interview he discusses the current opportunities to monetize the converging media world; compares film funding to that for new media ventures; and reveals trends in cross platforms projects. Earl suggested we explore three companies presenting at Fusion that Telefilm thinks are going in the right direction: HotRocket, Zeros2Heros (watch for an upcoming interview with Chairman, Paul Gertz), and Something Simpler - check out our exlusive interview with CEO Ian Bell.
