Okanagan Angels

In 2002 The newly formed Okanagan Science and Technology Council recognized the need for improved access to capital for new business ventures in the Okanagan Valley. OSTEC identified the highly successful Angel Network (Vantec founded April 1999) in Vancouver as a model worth implementing, and proceeded to develop a partnership to leverage Vantec’s & Mike Volker’s established base and experience. The organizers of the Angel Network are independent volunteers. No judgments or opinions are expressed by either OSTEC or the Vancouver Enterprise Forum. Many companies have received funding from the Vantec network and some have already provided financial returns to angel investors.
