Alliance of Angels
The Alliance of Angels is a program of the Technology Alliance
dedicated to nurturing the growth of new technology companies
located in the Northwest region through the early stages of
their development. A group of individual investors and representatives
of investment corporations, this group uses an online, members-only
resource to view business plans submitted by new technology
companies. Selected early-stage companies then have the opportunity
to present their business plans at AOA monthly membership meetings.
Through this process, the AOA acts as a "matchmaker" for young
technology companies and interested investors. |
