“The Minnesota Angel Network has been extremely helpful in creating connections with investors. And the process we went through to be certified raised my bar in ways that I didn’t think it could be raised . . . . When other CEOs ask me if I’d do it again, the answer is always yes.”

“The Minnesota Angel Network got us in front of so many people that we would never have seen, and it really prepared us for it . . . . With the network behind us, that gave us a credibility: ‘They’re certified, there’s something in what this company is saying.’”

“Because the company came to us through the Minnesota Angel Network, we were able to look at it differently. We knew the network had brought expertise to the table around the business plan.”

Before going through the certification program, “I used to feel like I was speaking Greek with investors. I ran into a wall that was preventable.”
