Angel Funds and Networks<br />
There are both angel “networks” and committed angel “funds” operating in North Carolina. Angel<br />
networks are groups of angel investors who screen potential deals (business investment opportunities)<br />
and then make investment decisions individually.<br />
An angel fund is a committed pool of capital, most often professionally-managed. The fund members<br />
screen potential deals, participate in due diligence, and decide as a group which investments to make<br />
from the fund.<br />

Market in 2012: A Moderating Recovery Continues”<br />
