Recently a UD Alum named Ron McDaniel gave a 7 figure gift to the University of Daytonâs Entrepreneurship program to launch a student run
private equity portfolio, now in its second year. UD’s Entrepreneurship faculty manage the program, annually selecting a handful of students each
year to participate on the Flyer Angels Fund team.The purpose of this panel discussion is to allow those students time to share their experiences
with Flyer Angels over the past year; what they enjoy, as well as the surprises and challenges managing the fund creates. In addition theyâll discuss
the upcoming year, how to apply, and what is expected of students. Questions from the audience are welcome. The students will talk about
investments they have considered, as well as their experiences in doing due diligence analyses, as well as networking with business angels as a
part of the Ohio Tech Angels (OTAF) Business Angel network. The Flyer Angels students will discuss the workload involved, the relationship the
Mgt 321, plus answer any questions from the audience. Due to the confidential nature of the investment decisions, the student cannot identify
companies they have either analyzed or invested in, other than at a very general, non-identifying level.

and are then assigned to the projects. We then recruit teams of 2-3 Entrepreneurship students to work on the projects. The entrepreneurship
students work on market feasibility during the fall, and meet regularly with the engineering students as they develop a technical feasibility for
the fall semester.The teams enter the project into the UD Business Plan Competition; over five years 8 teams have been named finalists and those
