WHO SHOULD ATTEND:  This event is ONLY for Angels (high net-worth individuals) and those individuals that can demonstrate they "screen deals" for Angels.  You will not be asked to make investments at this event, it is for your general education on private investing, as an "angel".

This is a private - invitation only event.   This is not open to the public. Angels are "safe" to come to this and not be solicited, but to network and gain knowledge from the programs.  If you know of an Angel that may not have received this email (I have kept the names anonymous in this group email) - please feel free to pass this email on to them. 

Please register immediately because we need to inform the Townsend Hotel on the number of guests that are coming so we have enough space and meals. Any cancellations must be made before Feb 18th to be honored for credit.

Our The March event will be on "Exit Strategies and Realizing Returns", Deal Structuring - Part II, and it will be on Mar 20 (please save this date).
 
If you do not want to remain on the email list for future Detroit - Great Lakes Angels Events - please email and let me know.  If I should direct these emails to someone else that will want to be added instead - have them contact me or send me their contact information.   Thank you.
