Minority
Angel Investor Network
Minority Angel Investor Network
(MAIN) was created specifically to assist minority entrepreneurs obtain
funding.
It is hugely successful. That doesn't mean that
funding with MAIN is a shoo-in. On the contrary, the process is not
easy, and the competition is very stiff. The best of the best of
minority-owned businesses make a presentation at MAIN.
The Minority Angel Investor Network is a network of accredited investors with an interest and
commitment to invest in high growth, minority owned or minority led
companies. MAIN is not a fund. It is a group of individual investors each
of whom makes his or her own decision regarding investment in a specific
opportunity.
