“Today’s Angel Investing Landscape”
Presenter: Todd Dean
Presentation:
Today’s angel investing landscape is vastly different from its beginnings with Broadway plays. Angel investing has a long history that has built the foundations for what are now some of our top companies globally. Individual angel investors have faced many pitfalls when investing on their own and ultimately lost money on a large percentage of their angel investments. These difficulties and lost investments have led to a demand for a more efficient and a smarter way to still be involved in early stage investing. This movement began in the early 90’s but has really gained traction in the past few years as there are now over 250 recognized angel groups in the United States. Angel groups have established a unique position today and will continue to grow and evolve in the coming years providing a more structured way of investing.
