Tacoma Angel Network

Established in June 2006, the TacomaAngel Network is a non-profit alliance of accredited investors, who are successful entrepreneurs, retired executives, and other business leaders in the greater Tacoma and South Puget Sound area, and who provide investment capital, strategic advice and mentoring to early-stage companies or companies embarking on major expansion efforts to help them achieve market leadership. The TacomaAngel Network will have as members a healthy mixture of business leaders with extensive experience in related industries and outsiders with a passion for fueling positive changes in our local economy. We will also include investors from venture capital firms or members of existing angel groups and novice investors looking to benefit from participating in a group environment. The TacomaAngel Network will provide its members with access to a steady flow of promising entrepreneurs who need "risk" capital that is normally not available through other sources. The ultimate goal is to help investors make profitable investments in the high risk/high return private equity market, while fueling the growth of early stage companies in the Pacific Northwest. Connection to the Community - The TacomaAngel Network activities will improve the economic quality of life in the Tacoma and South Puget Sound region through supporting local entrepreneurs in building strong businesses that create new jobs and stimulate the regional economy. The founding sponsor for the TacomaAngel Network is the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce. Confidentiality - The TacomaAngel Network membership register is confidential and proprietary except in its use in relation to TacomaAngel Network events. The use of the membership list for solicitation, distribution, or any other use other the TacomaAngel Network activities is strictly prohibited.
