Kevin Johansen Kevin is the chair of the Angel Capital Summit. "Call me a social capitalist. I put a lot of energy into insuring the health of the communities I belong to, because if they're not in good shape it's harder on all of us. What this translates into is that I work every day to improve the business ecology, and I'd like to think that I'm talented enough and well enough connected to make a difference. So if you're a 'Keystone' provider of infrastructure, or have a new product or service that you think creates new and sustainable efficiencies for a market, I'd love to talk to you." Kevin's a serial, successful entrepreneur and investor, and as such he takes this 'social capital' thing VERY seriously. As he says: "It's the network, stupid." He was born into a great one, but not one full of capital or entrepreneurial expertise - so he had to build one that worked to support his needs for both. The result is the BusinessCatapult.com, a social networking platform for entrepreneurs, investors and advisors that works for ALL of us. Though still in beta, the BC is also the platform that the Angel Capital Summit is run on, and the ACS is the largest angel investor fair in the U.S. Bottom line is that it works, that it will work better as the BC continues to wrap new services into it - and that as a social networking platform it works better still with more people using it. Summary: If you're looking to build a better business faster, you'll want to be up on the BC. If you're looking for capital to do so, you'll want to apply to present at the ACS. Come hear Kevin tell the story of the BC and the ACS and become part of that story yourself.
