Economic Development: Our Solution
Angel Catalyst provides a turnkey management solution that enables economic development officers to create professional, local early-stage angel funds. The company also provides educational services that teach entrepreneurs how to secure funding.
Language of Capital Seminar – Entrepreneurs with viable opportunities often fail to secure capital simply because they do not understand how to articulate their opportunity in a way funding sources can grasp. Through this seminar, Angel Catalyst teaches your region's entrepreneurs how to talk to bankers, investors, and granting agencies in the language of capital. This training helps your entrepreneurs communicate the true potential of their business to funding sources while also helping them identify weaknesses in their business before they become a roadblock to financing.
Flavors of Capital Seminar – Government granting programs, banks, angel investors, and venture capitalists look at companies differently. Entrepreneurs who do not understand the differences, or who may well be unaware of some source's existence at all, are far less likely to grow and thrive. Attendees to the Flavors of Capital Seminar learn about the full range of funding sources available in their region and which are a good fit.
Angel Group Creation – Entrepreneurs in regions lacking professional, organized angel groups are much more likely to fail due to lack of capital - or be forced to move to a region where they are able secure capital. Angel Catalyst helps you organize the angels in your region into a professional organization that grows and retains local high growth ventures.
