John Dimmer

John Dimmer came to our class to give a presentation about funding. Having a long relationship with Andrew Fry it was interesting to listen to the two of them talk as they are old friends. John having a lot of experience in being an angel investor was quite interesting. The advice that he was able to give was awesome as he has done this for a long time.

I thought angel investing was a little different then how he explained it. When talking about the difference in levels of funding i thought that an angel investor was basically a VC type funder that was just a little bit earlier in the funding cycle. It was very nice to be able to see and hear the difference in the two.

It was also entertaining on that he shares the same feelings for Mark Cuban that Andrew Fry does. It makes sense as they were business partners during the whole cuban crisis that went on. This talk was cut a little short as Andrew Fry had to leave early cause of a meeting. I wish that John would have gotten a little longer to talk as i think there would have been some great questions that we could have asked him. Since we were finishing our business plans during this time, questions about funding would have gone a long way to helping us out. But the presentation was very informative how it was
