GEORGIAN ANGEL NETWORK LOOKING FOR ANGELS

GAN is a regional angel group covering south-central Ontario. We are actively looking to grow the membership of the group.

Angels are high net worth (accredited) investors, who are interested in making direct equity investments in private companies, specifically start-ups. Companies that represent high-potential opportunities are of interest to angel groups. Angel groups like GAN represent an important step in the innovation chain, providing funding to early-stage companies to assist them in full commercialization of their technology or product.

GAN serves as a linkage mechanism between entrepreneurs who require equity capital, and angel investors who want to invest in these start-up opportunities. The angels bring not only their financial capital to bear, but augment this with their experiential and intellectual capital. Angels are typically successful entrepreneurs themselves, who started, built and (in many cases) sold their business and have the time and money to commit. They may also continue to be active in their own businesses, while making private equity investments as part of managing their overall net worth.

The GAN sources, reviews & vets opportunities, stages the investment meetings (2-3 companies present at each meeting) and facilitates due diligence to arrive at an investment agreement that is satisfactory to both the investors and investee companies. The investors make their own investment decisions on a case-by-case basis. GAN has a regional focus, and will also profile companies from outside the region if they present compelling investment opportunities.

GAN is a not-for-profit organization comprised of individual member-investors, as well as having strategic partnerships with both public and private sector organizations/businesses. GAN, as well as actively recruiting members to build the group, is continually looking for opportunities which meet the group’s investment criteria (refer below).

GAN website is http://www.georgianangelnet.ca/ , where there is additional information for both investors and; entrepreneurs.
