    "The (Larta) seminar had a profound impact on the fundraising strategy and methodology of our company ... in December 2006 we closed a $1.2M series A investment round, and we will be commencing trials in Israel in 9 months time. Positive momentum seems to build on itself, and several more angels, and industry sources, have contacted us to express interest."

    - Eliezer Be'eri, Founder and CSO, Innovent Medical Solutions Ltd.
