CCICE Angel Investors New Role March 9, 2010

Angel Investors New Role:

The Venture Capital community has been rocked by turbulent times and changes in the industry. Venture funds are available yet diminishing and focus by the venture community has been on existing ventures with more investments made in later-stage ventures. The funding gap for opportunities that range from seed stage funding ($500 K and less) and startup's ($2M and less) has been filled by Angel Investors.

Organized Angel Investors either a managed group, an angel fund or a formal or informal network has sprouted in recent years. The classic
sense of an Angel investment has turned into a fund. With this in mind, we invite you to learn more from a renown panel:
