Angel Investors are individuals who provide capital and expertise to help innovative companies grow and scale. Equally valuable to the founders is the vast array of experiences and connections that the angels bring to their portfolio companies. These Accredited Investors come from a broad range of backgrounds including exited entrepreneurs and professionals. Their motivation includes a desire to make a return on investment, but also to give back to their community and country by supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs.
