The University Angel Group WebWorkshops are unique sessions with leading experts designed specifically for assisting universities in the creation and management of university-affiliated groups. University-affiliated angel groups are the most effective way to bridge the funding gap confronting startups, because angel investors provide 90% of the capital for new firms. A typical angel group invests over $1 million in area startups per year, so having a group affiliated with your university can help provide the pre-seed and seed capital for your startups. As tech transfer offices are called upon to create more startups, access to startup funding becomes the critical success factor. Additionally, alumni angel groups provide the university development office a new program to bring wealthy, entrepreneurial alumni back to the university.

Learn about a new, innovative way to help your startups find funding.
