Our group is not an investment fund as each member makes his or
her own investment decisions. All members need to be risk
tolerant, willing to commit some of their time and energy to
serving on WPA committees and able to add value to the companies
they invest in.
The Winter Park Angels provides members
exposure to investment opportunities in early and expansion
stage companies located, or doing business, in the region. In
addition, members are offered forums for education and active
interchange of information and ideas, regarding the formation,
development and financial structuring of early and expansion
stage companies.
Prospective investment opportunities are not
offered by or endorsed by the Winter Park Angels. Members are
responsible for making individual and independent investment
decisions, both as to suitability of an investment and as to the
amount, if any, invested based on their own individual
evaluation of the merits of the proposed investment. WPA acts
solely as a facilitator of the investment process, providing
members with a method by which members may meet, view, analyze
and monitor investment opportunities. WPA does not provide
members or others with investment advice and does not benefit
from the success or failure of the investments of its members.
As a condition of membership, each member must sign a Rules of
Membership and Conduct statement which includes a provision that
the member agrees that WPA shall have no responsibility for the
accuracy, completeness or merit of the information presented or
the success or failure of any investment decision made by any
member.
Members must actively participate in the WPA
process to share in the benefits of WPA programs and to make
their participation beneficial to other members. Members are
expected to attend most of the investment and screening meetings
and to co-invest in a minimum number of deals per year in
companies in which other members invest. Members are also
expected to make a significant contribution to the operation of
WPA including actively participating in due diligence, leading
an investment opportunity, identifying investment opportunities,
and serving on the board of directors or board of advisors of
portfolio companies.
We invite you to read our material on angel
investing located within the tabbed pages to the left. If

current members and are interested in learning more about our
group, its investment goals and its commitments to the Central
Florida entrepreneurial community, please send an email to membership@winterparkangels.com. |
