Angel Investors in Canada
Angel investors in Canada tend to invest
nearby. It's pure economics -- angel investors from Vancouver find it
very expensive to travel to Houston to oversee their investment.
I have been amazed at the number of collaborations between Canadian and US
angel investment firms over the past few years. The pace seems to be
picking up, as more and more angel groups form partnerships to take advantage
of the best available on both sides of the border.
There is no significant difference between Canadian angel investor groups,
and those in the United States. All of the groups are looking for the
few companies that will make them a success.
While there is no particular industry that
Canadian angel investors look for, it's a good idea to read each web site
carefully. As with other geographical area, there are differences in what
type of industry each group looks for, as well as the amount of investment that
each is willing to commit.
