The Seattle Alliance of Angels had a wonderful 2010. To quote the headline: Alliance of Angels Invests Record-high $10.3 Million in 2010; Group hits new milestone with investment in 33 Northwest-based startups; surpasses previous investment record by more than $1 million.

I was quoted:

“Once again, our angels have set a new standard for investing in innovative, young companies,” said Dan Rosen, chair of the Alliance of Angels. “For the second year in a row, AoA has cemented our position as the most active angel organization not just in Washington, but in the whole of the Pacific Northwest.”

“What is especially gratifying,” he continued, “is that 95 percent of our members have made at least one investment in the past two years. Even as the economy struggles to rebound from the recession, our members continue to support the AoA portfolio with initial and follow-on investments.”

“That is a testament to the quality of our deal flow, the value of our screening and coaching, and the eagerness of our investors to support entrepreneurs with promising ideas.”

Seems that angel investors are once again full of hope for the future.
