Rockies Venture Club selected Xero Shoes from over 100 companies to pitch at the 2014 Angel Capital Summit on March 18, 2014.
ACS is one of the regionās major investor conferences, drawing several hundred investors and entrepreneurs.
Xero Shoesā CEO, Steven Sashen, will present the barefoot-inspired footwear brand he co-founded with his wife, Lena Phoenix, in late 2009.
āWeāve been able to bootstrap up until now,ā Sashen explains, ābut our sudden growth into international and domestic retail needs more capital.ā
Sashen and Phoenix appeared on ABCās hit show, Shark Tank, in 2013 and rejected a $400,000 offer from Kevin OāLeary. Says Phoenix, āHe wanted 50% of our company, and that wasnāt going to happen.ā
