JumpStartNJ, New Jersey’s largest angel investor group, will be holding its “Meet the Angels” invitation only meeting on June 17th in Central New Jersey. JumpstartNJ, founded in 2002, began investing in 2004 and has now invested over $35 million in 45 companies, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region.
The informal reception for “only one representative” from each fund raising company is intended to give entrepreneurs an opportunity to connect directly with angels in a non-pitch format. Investors will then be able to view interesting companies that may lead to a later meeting for a funding pitch.
Katherine O’Neill, Executive Director of JumpstartNJ, handles the application process. Entrepreneurs interested in attending that evening should download the one page application athttp://www.jumpstartnj.com/#!meet-the-angels/c1cu4. With the event less than two weeks away those seeking to be considered are encouraged to promptly submit an application.
Approximately 10-12 entrepreneurs will be selected. Katherine O’Neill explains, “Since Jumpstart invests in the Mid Atlantic region, not just New Jersey, companies located in PA, NY and CT, DE are more than welcome to apply. Sometimes people think that the NJ in our name refers to our investing area only. We invest from CT to VA.”
