Active Capital (formerly known as The Angel Capital Electronic Network)
Are you an entrepreneur looking for equity dollars?
The Angel Capital Electronic Network (ACE-NET), now known as Active Capital, is a national securities offering listing service that allows institutional and individual accredited investors and small, growing companies to find one another through a secure Internet database, while meeting the legal requirements of federal and state securities regulators.
As such, it's an opportunity for entrepreneurs to gain access to equity financing from accredited investors (called "angels") in amounts typically too small - $250,000 to $5 million - to attract most venture capitalists.
As an angel investor, you can search for investment opportunities and review business plans on the secure, encrypted Active Capital Web site with full anonymity. Small businesses will not be aware of your interest until you directly contact a company.
Companies considering joining Active Capital should seek the advice of securities attorneys and accountants to assist in the preparation of offerings and business plans. Active Capital also provides educational programs to help entrepreneurs and angel investors better understand relevant issues, prior to consulting with such professionals.
