The Angel Next Door is back with All New Episodes!
Host Marcia Dawood kicks off these new episodes by demystifying equity crowdfunding. Tune in as she sits down with Howard Marks, CEO and cofounder of the crowdfunding platform StartEngine. StartEngine is an equity crowdfunding platform that recently acquired SeedInvest, bringing the total amount raised between the platforms to over $1 billion. Howard discusses how he started as an entrepreneur with his roommate at the University of Michigan, and purchased a controlling stake in the video game company Activision and turned it into the industry leading company it is today, leading to a purchase offer from Microsoft of $68 billion.

Question on Nominations for the ACA Board of Directors
Desired nominees should have expertise in one or more areas of ACA’s special focus for the coming year: Membership Development, Marketing, Data Analytics and Business Development. Successful candidates should also have experience as senior leaders of angel groups or other organizations within the startup ecosystem. And, of course, we put a premium on those who have demonstrated the drive and ability to get things done, for ours is a very active Board. Other selection criteria will include a history of effective work on behalf of the ACA. As a transparent and open organization committed to representing the broadest range of angels and angel organizations, we also seek a Board that is geographically and demographically diverse.
Please submit your selection for the 2024 ACA Board of Directors, term to begin July 1, 2023, by emailing ACA CEO Pat Gouhinand Governance Chair, Clay Rankin, by January 20, 2023. Please include the candidate’s bio, email, phone number and LinkedIn profile, plus recommendations from at least two ACA members and their contact information. If you are nominating yourself, you will be counted as one of the two recommenders. You can learn more about ACA’s current Board, mission, vision and values here.
Owing to the generosity of individual donors, angel groups and the incredible matching pledge made by Ann & Bill Payne, the Angel Investor Foundation is nearing its first $1 MIL raised.
