More than 350 Angels from across Canada will gather in Niagara-on-the-Lake for the sold out National Angel Summit this week. This is the largest gathering of Canadian Angel investors this year.
"A sold out National Angel Summit really speaks to the growing trend of Angel investing across Canada," says Michelle Scarborough, Chair of the NACO Board of Directors. "This increased attention to Angel investing can only mean good things for innovative companies and the Canadian economy."
The National Angel Capital Organization (NACO) organizes this three-day Summit annually. Attendees will discuss a variety of topics that highlight the Summit's theme: Harnessing the Power of Angel Investors. One of the goals of the Summit is to connect Canadian Angels from coast to coast.
"We want to improve access to risk capital for early-stage Canadian companies. At the Summit, Angel investors are face-to-face and share experiences including their wins and losses," says Yuri Navarro, NACO's Executive Director. "Those conversations and panel discussions are imperative for this important group who truly fuel the startup economy."
