AngelPad is a mentorship program founded by Thomas Korte with a team of ex-Google employees to help technology startups build better products, attract seed funding and grow more successful businesses. AngelPad provides founders with funding, mentorship and the chance to work alongside other great founders at the AngelPad office in San Francisco. "AngelPad is in the business of taking companies from a very early stage, anytime from idea to some prototyping, all the way through fundraising and beyond as they become part of the network of companies in AngelPad," explains Thomas Korte, founder of AngelPad. "Starting a company has become really easy. The challenge that we run into is to decipher interesting features and helping build a company around these." Twice a year, AngelPad provides their extensive mentorship program to carefully selected startups. The ten week program covers all aspects of a company launch -- from idea to product, market fit, customer acquisition and fundraising. AngelPad also takes care of the less glamorous things like incorporation, immigration visas or setting up books. During the course of the program, AngelPad provides guest speakers and hosts several events. A strong emphasis is also put on helping founders to prepare for demo day, which occurs towards the end of each program and allows companies to present their idea, vision, and product to several hundred investors. Mentors are extremely involved in helping startups in their fundraising <b>...</b>

They have most recently introduced this Hawk SLS Roadster at this year's Geneva motorshow but we've now seen it out on the roads at Top Marques Monaco. The car has the most incredible noise you will ever hear, the unburnt fuel popping and crackling around on the overrun without hesitation. It packs in 636hp and 680Nm torque which means 0-62mph in 3.6s and top speed around the 200mph mark and I was lucky enough to take a ride! Enjoy some clips of the car, flybys, start sound and some ride shots. I was certainly lucky to have the experience! To read more on the Hamann Hawk Roadster, head to GTspirit.com: www.gtspirit.com Picture Gallery: razzi.me Thanks for watching, Tim
