June is HERE and with it comes a new Scale Up Webinar! Are wondering about getting angel investments for your start-up? If so, this webinar is for you. Learn what angel investing is all about, how it happens, and if your business is a candidate.
Drawing on her extensive experience with Maine Angels & beyond, Sandra Stone Chair Emerita will share her perspectives and provide some tips on the dos and don’ts of preparing and starting the process. This will be an interactive session so please bring your questions, thoughts, and any experiences you may want to share.
