34 COMPANIES SELECTED FOR ANGEL VENTURE FAIR 2017
The 19th annual Angel Venture Fair takes place at the Union League on Friday, May 5th. The AVF features 34 companies from a cross section of industries. There are 24 non-university and 10 student companies. The companies that have recently participated in AVF have raised almost $4.5 million. History has shown that in past Angel Venture Fairs going back to 2004, upwards of 78 percent of companies that have gone through the AVF process received funding as a result of their participation. Since 2004, we have been able to track and account that a total or more than $16 million has been raised for AVF companies. We think that is much higher since many of the companies and or investors have no obligation to supply us with their data.
