Ever wish the South Florida angel groups were all in one place? Here's your chance.
As part of its mission to serve as a resource to the entrepreneurial community, the nonprofit Gold Coast Venture Capital Association will be hosting "Meet the Angels" on Wednesday, August 27th from 5-8 pm at the Embassy Suites in Boca Raton. The event is designed to provide South Florida entrepreneurs an opportunity to meet all major area angel groups and many investors and investment funds all in one setting. "This will be a fantastic opportunity for area entrepreneurs to learn who these organizations are, who to contact, what their investment parameters are, and what their process is," said GCVCA President Bob Fitts. For investors and angel organizations, the event will provide exposure to the broader South Florida entrepreneurial community and to other investors.
Panelists will include representatives from 18 angel groups and funds from Tampa, Orlando, Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Confirming attendance are Accelerated Growth Partners, Angel Forum of Florida, EarlyShares, Florida Venture Forum, Miami Innovation Fund, Palm Beach Angels, New World Angels, Thesis Ventures, Caerus Ventures, Belle Capital, CrunchFire Ventures, SJO Worldwide, Dawson James Securities, Spearhead Capital, Florida Funders, Florida Angel Nexus, StartUp Palm Beach Capital and Tamiami Angel Funds. The GCVCA is expecting over 250 attendees.
