Forbes recently reported on angel investor groups located in so called flyover states in an article featuring the Upstate Carolina Angel Network (UCAN). It explores investor momentum in the Greenville, SC region, labeled one of the “creative angel epicenters doing special things to be successful.”
Managing Director Matt Dunbar shared UCAN’s recent successes with the Upstate Business Journal. “With $2.6 million invested across 15 funding rounds in 2014, UCAN has now invested a total of $11.6 million in 36 companies across 69 rounds. Importantly, 80% of those dollars have been invested in 22 South Carolina companies that have created over 300 high-paying jobs.”
UCAN is a strategic partner of Asheville Angels. We’re proud to learn from their success and excited to replicate it here in Asheville.
