TEC Meeting - Angel Investing for Serious Investors

Dear TEC Club members and friends,

Happy Holidays, Happy New 2014 Year and best wishes from TEC Club!

Start your New Year with TEC Club and join us on Thursday, January 9th, for a discussion with Carol Sands, Founder and Managing Partner, The Angels’ Forum and The Halo Funds. Carol teaches a course on Angel Investments at Stanford University. Carol kindly agreed to deliver a short overview version of the course at TEC.

Making an investment in an early-stage startup is fun and easy to do, but making a profit from angel investment is not a trivial task. Carol teaches how to increase the probability of success by modifying the initial selection process, productively monitoring the investment’s progress, and monetizing investment at the right point.

Carol Sands started her career working for large companies but switched to owning and running startups in the 1980s. She founded The Angels’ Forum, a group of professional private equity investors, in 1997. The Halo Funds, a Silicon Valley-based venture capital fund, raised its first fund in 2000 and is currently investing from Halo III. Carol also works with both commercial and nonprofit boards.
