Angelsoft recently sponsored the Angel Capital Association Northwest in Seattle, Washington.

The event had any interesting topics discussed. The first of which was a panel, led by Bruce McCormack of the Bellingham Angels and Elaine Kong of the Washington Technology Center all about how to syndicate and share deals throughout the region. Since several of the people in the room were Angelsoft users, there was quite a bit of lively discussion around how to use Angelsoft to accelerate deal flow amongst the region.

David S. Rose then sat on a panel with several angels to discuss best practices for angel groups. There was great discussion on how to find and promote the best deals, on whether to charge application fees, on whether or not to coach the entrepreneurs, and also how to get members more involved. Ultimately, some great ideas were shared amongst all the members.

Over lunch, David S. Rose spoke to all attendees about the future of Angelsoft and how Angelsoft is transforming the world of early stage investment. He compared Angelsoft to great business network sites like LinkedIn. David discussed how Angelsoft, with its 350 organizations and growing, has created the premiere network of individuals and groups doing early stage investing, and like LinkedIn - now has the ability to elevate this network through optional premium services to help all the individuals in the network.

The response was very positive, and Angelsoft’s persistence in finding and signing up the best and biggest early stage investment groups over the past year, is really starting to pay off for both Angelsoft and all of the organizations on board!
