Thursday, March 13 > 5:30 until 7:30 pm

Angel investors are people who invest in high risk / high reward businesses and are often interested in sharing their experience and expertise with other entrepreneurs. Angel investors often invest a total of $25,000 to $50,000 each year, and aggregate these individual investments with other members of their angel group to make total investments in a particular company in the range of $150,000 to $1.5 million.

The organizing meeting will feature brief presentations from both current angel investors and representatives of companies who have received angel investments, followed by a discussion and a “question and answer” period.

Participants include:

• Bob Goff, Chair, Sierra Angels

• Mike Hess, CEO, Mariah Power

• Rudi Wiedemann, President / CEO, Biodiesel Solutions, Inc.
