(7c) Why I'm an Angel Panel Introduction
Author
William Byers - Presenter, Chemical Angel Network
"Angel" investors are individuals that invest their own money in entrepreneurial companies. This is distinct from venture funds that invest other people's money. Motivations for angel investing are as varied as the investors themselves and range from the pleasure of helping a startup company to succeed to the thrill of potential high returns on investment. This panel of experienced angel investors will discuss their experiences with investing in early stage companies, including how they got started, why they enjoy it and how to manage risks associated with angel investing.
