To build on the successes and drive opportunities for local entrepreneurs, the City of Grande Prairie’s Economic Development department has partnered with National Angel Capital Organization (NACO) to mobilize an angel investor network in Grande Prairie.

Angel Investors are individuals with the financial ability to support start-up businesses and initiatives through a capital investment. NACO partners these individuals with entrepreneurs seeking to fund their business ideas and initiatives.

To support the establishment of an angel investor network, an education session taking place on June 24 from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., hosted by NACO. The session is open to potential investors and investees, with the content to be tailored to the audience through a short survey upon registration.

Anyone is welcome to join the session, whether you’re an experienced angel investor, wanting to become an angel investor, an entrepreneur seeking capital, or curious how an angel network can help drive economic growth.

NACO provides data, best practices, tools, and resources to its 4,000 members to unlock the capital and mentorship that Canadian entrepreneurs need to scale their companies.

Since 2012, NACO members have invested over $850 million into more than 1400 companies, creating over 7,700 jobs. Angel investors are essential for paving the road to venture capital, scale and growth.
