Experienced Entrepreneurs Panel Featuring: Mark Hill of Collina Ventures and Angie Hicks of Angie's List with moderator Tom Walsh, Ice Miller
You've seen Angie Hicks on TV in her commercials for Angie's List, but now you'll get to see her in person and hear all about her journey from going door-to-door selling memberships in this revolutionary new service industry idea, to being the face of a nationally known brand and public company. Mark Hill co-founded baker Hill in 1983, and since its acquisition in 2005, Mark has become one of Indy's most active angel investors with 48 startups and seats on the boards of T2 Systems and Interactive Intelligence. Imagine what you might know if you had been part of one of Indy's earliest tech success stories and followed it up by investing in and advising four dozen other startups. This panel is going to be one of those things people talk about and remember for a very long time.
