AAAI 2010 National Angels Conference
Year of the Angel
In 2009 Australian Angels established new Angel groups, invested in exciting entrepreneurs and exited valuable businesses for high order returns. The Angel community stepped up to work with the Federal, State and Territory governments to help shape Australian innovation from the local grass roots level all the way to the new Commonwealth Commercialisation Institute.
In 2010 Australian Angels will continue to build their groups, invest in innovative companies in all technology sectors, be active contributors to the early-stage community and ecosystem in Australia.
Already an Angel investor, or are just thinking about becoming one, join us to:
• share in the latest in Angel education at the Master Classes;
• hear about real Angel deals that are in the works;
• get the latest research on the Australian Angel sector;
• review trends in Angel investment around the world;
• learn how Angel investments can be more successful;
• explore the construction of an Angel exit; and
• understand Angels building communities of interest with their corporate partners.
AAAI will present the views of Angel investors and other investors and professionals from across Australia and around the world.
If you are interested in how Australians investing in Australian innovation make remarkable financial returns and help Australia prosper in these challenging times then please, join us at the AAAI 2010 National Angels Conference.
