This is a testimony to the knowledge she possesses. She has always been open to discussing venture and starts up ideas with the entrepreneurs and business professionals I have referred her way - regardless of the infancy of these ventures. They have all thanked me for putting them in touch with her. Karen understands referral relationships - she is another person who "gets it."” March 25, 2008

“Karen and I worked together on investor presentations jointly hosted by our organizations (Launchfn and Georgia Tech). She and her team were highly responsive and well-prepared. She provided one-page summary templates our clients found very useful + specific and general presentation advice that strongly impacted our clients' perceptions by the investment community. In my experience, Launchfn is adept at accessing angel investors. I've personally spoken with 2 separate business owners who procured money through their efforts.

If you are seeking funding of $100,000 or less, I highly recommend a consultation with Karen and Launchfn.” July 16, 2008

“Karen does a phenomenal job of pulling investors together in a group networking setting. The event I attended ran smoothly through five companies presenting their cutting edge technology in search of angel funding. The investors and companies searching for investment were able to mingle and meet prior to the meeting and over an hour after the meeting with fabulous refreshments. I would recommend LaunchFN for any investor and/or company in search of funding.” November 15, 2006
