InSync Organization
Advisory Team
An Advisory Team of up to seven representatives from our Member Angel Groups has the mission to run the Network to:
- Identify and share information about quality companies seeking early-stage financing
- Collaborate in due diligence on potential investments
- Promote inter-group understanding, and share best practices, resources and expertise where appropriate
- Make it easier for deserving entrepreneurs to efficiently find and close investment
And very importantly, everything done has to respect the culture and founding philosophies of each Network Angel Group Member.
