conference in the country
San Diego Angel Conference (SDAC), a University of San Diego
(USD) School of Business program that activates accredited angel
investors and engages promising early-stage companies that drive
the innovation ecosystem, announces vteams as its title sponsor for
its fourth consecutive angel conference. SDAC activates deal flow
by partnering with top California universities and innovation
support organizations to facilitate introductions of entrepreneurs
to angel investors interested in investing in companies that have
potential to disrupt markets.
In SDAC IV, about 90 early-stage companies are vying for an
estimated $500K+ going to the winner and runners up depending on
the size of the fund. SDAC provides a full educational program, for
entrepreneurs and novice and semi-experienced angels alike, that
culminates in a final funding event – live and virtual – on March
24.
With an active angel group of about 90 investors who invest
anywhere from $5,500 to $100,000+ each conference series, SDAC has
become the largest angel investor program in the country, with more
than $2.8 million in funding awarded to startups over the last
three years. See a list of SDAC portfolio companies here.
SDAC IV Title Sponsor vteams (a division of NEXTWERK INC), an
international software development company working with startups to
publicly traded companies, says it supports SDAC because it
provides funding, contacts, and knowledge innovative early-stage
companies need to bring novel ideas to life.
“The most profound advances in technology are still ahead of
us,“ said vteams CEO Mark Mian. “People working on these advances
are all around us, tirelessly working in their garages and
coworking offices. Their startups will be enabled by angel
investors, whose vision and support can help move human innovation
forward. This funding activity is the fast track to the future, and
we are glad to be a part of it.”
SDAC activates a healthy deal flow by partnering with top
California universities including University of San Diego (USD),
San Diego State University (SDSU), and University of California,
San Diego (UCSD), resulting in introductions to startups eager to
turn discoveries into ventures.
SDAC also partners with 20+ organizations in the startup
ecosystem. These connections, combined with SDAC’s reputation for
excellence, enables it to attract promising startups and manage a
substantial investment fund. SDAC sponsors include vteams, USD,
Mintz, SDSU, First Republic Bank, Coeptus Law, Clearpoint Agency,
and UCSD.
