NEW YORK: New York angel investors KAYWEB Angels have announced that there is one week remaining for startups to submit their applications for consideration in July 2011.
The June quarter, which has seen hundreds of startups submit applications, will officially close on July 12. All submissions beyond that date will be considered for the October quarter, which will be assessed in November 2011.
The KAYWEB Angels Board have been reviewing the June quarter applications in recent weeks, and they've invited a number of startups to 'pitch in person' at their Manhattan headquarters. The company, which provides development services and mentoring in exchange for equity, is looking to add "three to four" additional investments to its current portfolio of three startups.
KAYWEB Angels CEO Haig Kayserian says they are "spoilt for choice".
Kayserian said: "We have no shortage of quality submissions and all those invited to pitch in person have a chance to work with KAYWEB Angels."

New York business magazine names Haig Kayserian among People to Watch in Silicon Alley
NEW YORK: Respected magazine Crain's New York Business has named KAYWEB Angels Founder and CEO Haig Kayserian among its 'People to Watch in Silicon Alley'.
Silicon Alley is what New York City's web industry is nicknamed and this list of the top web talents the city has to offer was released by Crain's New York Business during its issue which coincided with Internet Week New York; seven days of festivities celebrating and educating everything web with and to New Yorkers and New York businesses.
Kayserian, an Australian, was named alongside household New York web entrepreneurs, including Dennis Crowley of Foursquare (recently raised $20 million), David Karp of Tumblr (recently raised $41 million) and Arianna Huffington (recently bought out for $315 million) and Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures (owner of a $200 million venture fund) among others.
The introduction in the article says:
"The folks profiled on these pages are reshaping the roles that technology and new media play in the city's economy and our daily lives."
Kayserian has recently been quoted by the San Francisco Chronicle, ABC7, Mashable, Venture Beat, AOL, YoungEntrepreneur.com, Startup Smart, Smart Company and the Seven Network, introducing the world to his new and very different angel investment company KAYWEB Angels.
KAYWEB Angels is different to traditional angel investors because instead of providing cash for equity, they provide web and mobile startups with product development and mentoring in exchange for equity. Considering the dearth of engineering talent for web startups in New York City, his idea has hit the mark and attracted plenty of attention and acclaim by those closest to the industry.
The Crain's New Business declaration that Kayserian is "one to watch" was greeted with acceptance by Kayserian on behalf of the KAYWEB Angels team, which includes a world class board of directors, his wife Taline Kayserian, and investments like stealth projectswhoisgreen.com, burringo.com and doitinperson.com.
Kayserian said: "To be named in such an illustrious field is humbling, but this we are just getting started."
"If people are watching because Crain's New York Business told them to, it means we have to start delivering and making sure their eyes stay on us and on the great businesses we invest in."
