  Join us for a NM Angels Los Alamos Social!

  
  

  Date: Monday, March 31
  Time: 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
  Location: Los Alamos (Location sent after RSVP)

  Are you interested in 'Angel Investing' or learning what it entails to support startup and high-growth companies? This is a great opportunity to learn more about our network, explore the exciting startup landscape in New Mexico, and network! 
  
  This is an informational and educational social gathering. Its purpose is to bring together thoughtful people in/around Los Alamos to explore how to invest in and support New Mexico early-stage businesses coming out of the labs and other parts of our community.
   
  Angel investing can be a high performing element of an accredited investor’s portfolio, but it certainly does involve risk. Come share your perspective and learn more.

  It is important to note that this will be an informational and educational social gathering, NOT a sales pitch. Angel investing can be a high performing element of an accredited investor portfolio, but it involves substantial risk. Those with high tolerance for variance, coupled with an interest in growing local businesses, have been found to be best suited to venture into such waters.

  We look forward to seeing you there!
