AngelNV | Investor Education
AngelNV IV has concluded!
The first place investment of $200k for AngelNV IV, which SSBCI matched, went to TILT.ai, a company harnessing AI to disrupt the freight brokerage industry. Tilt matches trucks to loads like Uber matches drivers to riders, saving time, and fuel, and reducing costs and carbon emissions for a sustainable logistics future. The founders surfaced more investors in a separate SPV for $115K and total investment in Tilt.ai is $630,000.
A second investment was made in ZenCentiv, a SaaS company that provides incentive compensation management software. The angels put in $90K and the founders raised another 410K, which was matched by SSBCI for a total investment of $1,000,000. This totals $1,630,000 in investment to AngelNV 4 companies!
– Angels say, “there aren’t any investable deals”.
– Entrepreneurs say, “there aren’t any investors writing checks”.
AngelNV improves both of these issues through two 12 week long educational and event series – one series for founders and the other for angel investors. Some events in both series overlap – and both educational series conclude in a joint, one-day conference where at least 1 company is funded with $400,000 including $200,000 from investors participating in the angel series and a 1:1 match by the SSBCI program invested by the Battle Born Growth Ventures.
AngelNV is open to the public for any member of the community interested in learning more about starting a company or investing in a new business. Community members looking to invest must be considered an accredited investor.
AngelNV aims to build the Southern Nevada startup ecosystem by engaging seasoned and novice angel investors to build angel investing skills while providing access to deals from different industries and stages. A series of learn by doing events for investors build up to a one-day conference, and a 6-figure check for the winning entrepreneur.
The Las Vegas based Investor Track starts in early January 2025 and concludes on March 29, 2025. Schedule a time to chat with our Executive Director about participation, ask questions – or get more details online.
Entrepreneurs attend free weekly Due Diligence sessions and receive coaching and feedback from the StartUpNV Team to ensure their startup is ready for investment, as they prepare to compete at the AngelNV “main event” on March 29, 2025. The new Due Diligence bootcamp program begins on October 22 for AngelNV 5. In the meantime, review our 2024 bootcamp classes via our YouTube Playlist.
