Screening | Evaluation Process

Overview

Organized angel groups find entrepreneurs through both passive and active means. Many organizations have Web sites that encourage entrepreneurs to submit information, executive summaries, business plans, etc. for review. A2A does not believe that this is an effective nor cost efficient form of opportunity review.

The A2A Advisory Group’s members are leaders in Michigan’s technology business community. In the normal course of business, A2A membership is actively attending conferences, networking with new firms and entrepreneurs, communicating with technical contacts in laboratories and research centers, and soliciting partnerships with other investors. A significant proportion of the region’s viable opportunities will find their way into the A2A network at some Point of Entry; Supporting Organization, Participating Organization, Passive Members, Active Membership, Advisory Council, or Board of Directors, as diagramed below.
