Panel Session: Building International Co-investment Networks
Co-investment was on everyone's mind at this spring's major Angel conferences (ACA, EBAN Congress). Angel deals that depend on further rounds of capital will more often succeed if Angel groups worldwide learn to co-invest. This panel features leaders in this space who are growing co-investment linkages that may become tomorrow's global network of Angels.

Featuring a discussion, led by representatives from major Atlantic Canadian universities and government agencies, of how Angels and universities can work together to commercialize Canada's significant accumulation of world-class university research and innovations.
