Band members Manthi Nguyen and Ron Weissman participated in the Angel Capital Association (ACA) Western Regional Angel Forum on Thursday, February 9th at UCI Irvine, hosted by Tech Coast Angels, and included representatives of angel groups from Seattle through Texas. It offered an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow investors from the Western states and discuss the latest trends in angel investing. Ron Weissman, who served on the organizing committee, participated in the panel on “Trends in Deal Terms: SAFE Notes, Priced Rounds, Corporate Structures - What is Your Model?” and chaired a session on “Best Practices for Board Members.” Manthi Nguyen served on panels on “New Syndication Insights: New Networks for Collective Closing” and “Universities and Angels: Matching Innovation and Capital for Growth”. Band of Angels was a charter member of ACA and we are looking forward to the upcoming annual 2017 ACA Summit from April 26th to 28th in San Francisco.
