Learn to be a (Better) Angel Investor Workshop Offered in July by Gifford, Hillegass & Ingwersen, in Partnership with Launch Funding Network (LAUNCHfn) & NBA&I
Industry experts will be on deck to teach millionaires how to mitigate risk and take advantage of new tax incentives for investing in startup and early stage high growth companies in this day long free investor seminar on July 15 in Atlanta, GA: How to be a "better" Angel Investor.
Atlanta, GA, June 29, 2010 --(PR.com)-- “How to Become a ‘Better’ Angel Investor” is the topic of a July 15 luncheon seminar and program that will instruct on how to invest in private companies. Gifford, Hillegass & Ingwersen, L.L.P, Launch Funding Network, and the Network of Business Angels and Investors are co-sponsors of the program and have an interest in bringing a better understanding of private investment to those who would like to invest in emerging Atlanta-based companies.
The free seminar luncheon will be followed by an afternoon of company presentations made by early stage companies seeking investors to support their company’s growth.
Karen Rands, president of Launch Funding Network, describes the event as an invitation to affluent Atlantans to support the growth of business and jobs in the local market. “We’re looking to get Atlanta at the forefront of cities emerging from the recession. To do that, we need job creation. Experience tells us this comes from growth in new and small businesses.”
According to Mac Smith of Gifford, Hillegass & Ingwersen, “Many people aren’t familiar with the opportunities that are available in the small & emerging business community. This seminar will be a way for them to start learning about what opportunities are out there and how they might be able to take advantage of them.”

Seating is limited so individuals wishing to attend should RSVP as soon as possible. Speakers include top Atlanta industry experts in Alternative Investments and Angel Investments: David Campanella & Dexter Caffey of The Caffey Investment Group, Allen Johnson as an experienced private investor, Mac Smith of GH&I, and Michael Horton as a private investor and legal counsel of Horton, LLP.
