Partnership
for Success in the High-Tech World ... in Northern UP of Michigan
Aurora Angels, LLC was founded and is directed by
successful entrepreneurs in the high-tech arena. It is distinguished
from traditional angel organizations because many of its members
have significant and direct operational experience in starting companies
and building their businesses to the point that they can be brought
public. We understand and have shared the passion of starting with
a napkin business plan, focusing the basic vision and building successful
businesses from that vision.
As a result, Aurora has a strong
desire to nurture high-growth businesses that are developing
innovative products and services in the information and electronic
technology areas. What makes Aurora unusual is that besides
receiving start-up capital, affiliation with Michigan Technological
University and the Michigan Tech Smart Zone allows a business to have access to the
high-quality, low-cost support services. This is one way that start-up ventures directly benefit
in their efforts to reduce unnecessary business uncertainty.
In addition, Aurora has the commitment to exploit
its unique position in the international hi-tech business world to
bridge the flow of ideas and capital between Northwest Michigan and
North America. Entrepreneurs and investors in those two huge markets can work
with Aurora to expand their horizons beyond their regional markets.
