About us
Startup Investor Accelerator builds stronger startup companies that are more investible and grows new Angel Investors in local ecosystems.
We will run a variety of events about how to be effective as a startup founder, how to get into Angel Investing as a new investor and work to connect people to resources in the community.
This program is connected to the Seattle Angel group run by Mossy Ventures. Workshops and meetups will resemble the types of things we have done in the past in http://meetup.com/Seattle-Angel , http://meetup.com/Startup-Investor-Accelerator, http://meetup.com/Startup-Investor-Accelerator-Portugal
New Startup founders, people exploring the innovation economy and those interested in learning how to invest in the innovation economy would find this a useful group.
This group is part of the economic empowerment efforts of the Mossy Ventures group.
