Our third Equation Angels (#bepartoftheequation) coronavirus pandemic-focussed Peer-to-Peer webinar for members and portfolio ventures was held last Wednesday June 3.

I believe that with news focused on the pandemic, most people have not focused on the impact of the pandemic on financial assets.

We are in an interesting time. I believe that the current economic circumstances are ones that all of these readers will not feel again in their lifetimes.

Last Wednesday May 6, 2020, Equation Angels (#bepartoftheequation) held our second coronavirus pandemic Peer-to-Peer webinar for members, portfolio ventures, sponsors and other community stakeholders.

We are now four weeks into our collective response to battle this virus induced pandemic and it’s time to take a personal check-in.

In the depths of your personal and business participation in our current pandemic crisis have you stepped back and asked how you can make the most of a moment like this?

Thank you for attending the Peer-to-Peer Session on April 1st.  We would like to thank our sponsor Deloitte for providing such a relevant session with the most current materials. Brent Osborne and Brian Uchikata did a fantastic job.

As mentioned in my last post [March 13 - A Reckoning is Near) cash preservation should be king right now for all companies, let alone angel-backed/cash burn start-ups.
