Johnson City, TN, September 15, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The start-up business accelerator AccelNow in conjunction with the ETSU Research Foundation will host the Angel Resource Institute as they put on an educational seminar on angel investing at The Millennium Centre, 2001 Millennium Place, Johnson City, TN 37604 on Tuesday, October 9th, 2012.

The seminar will provide an overview of the angel investing process.
