Ever wanted to be in a movie? Or at least help out? Well, now is your chance. Temi Ojo, shown in the photo, is doing an independent feature film called “Seedless” here in San Francisco, and its protagonist is the founder of an internet startup.

About the Project:
By now, the rituals of Demo Day are familiar. The opportunities are great both for startups to tell their story, and for investors to see a lot of deals in a very short time. So why wouldn’t the reverse be true?
Introducing the Valley’s first Reverse Demo Day, where the investors sell themselves to entrepreneurs. Inspired by Betaworks’ and AOL’s New York VC Demo Day, Orrick’s TOTAL ACCESS program will be holding a Reverse Demo Day. This event puts angel investors on stage and gives them two minutes to deliver their elevator pitch to entrepreneurs. For startups, it’s the perfect opportunity to get a better sense of some of the names you always see on AngelList.
