Lessons Learned from a Social Media Sandstorm

The First Angel Network Association

The First Angel Network Association (FAN) is a not-for-profit organization formed to bridge the capital gap for companies with extraordinary potential in Atlantic Canada.
A Network For Private Investors

Created by angel investors for angel investors, FAN provides entrepreneurs and investors with a confidential, disciplined, high-quality private equity investment experience. FAN also delivers education and networking opportunities in the areas of investment readiness, angel investing and commercialization.
Connecting Angels and Entrepreneurs

FAN is a member-based organization which offers a forum for Angel investors to increase their exposure to quality, pre-screened early stage investment opportunities and expand their network of like-mined investors. FAN also provides qualified entrepreneurs the opportunity to approach a community of active investors.

On April 1st, 2013, Canada launched a new Startup Visa Program designed to help fast track permanent resident status for foreign-born entrepreneurs. The program will run for five years and has a restricted allotment of annual Visas.

"Thanks First Angel Network! In a region where it is very difficult to raise growth capital, you helped us raise the money we needed relatively quickly and you have been an excellent partner! Were it not for FAN, companies like ClearRisk wouldn't be able to thrive and grow in Atlantic Canada."
Craig Rowe
President, Clear Risk

"First Angel Network guided us through a process that resulted in our funding raise to be oversubscribed by more than 50%. They also provided us with a valuable board member and connected us to individuals that opened up new markets for us."
