Dan: Sure, the National Angel Capital Organization is the umbrella organization that represents angel groups in Canada. Its members are the 32 organized angel groups across Canada. NACO has various programs to help support and encourage angel investment in Canada such as: • Support for angel groups to get setup and be sustainable • Publishing best practices on angel investing and running angel groups • Advocating to government for policy initiatives to support angel investing (i.e. grant money to support angel groups, tax breaks for angel investment dollars) • Fostering co-investment across angels groups in Canada and other regions of the world Craig: To clarify, NACO does not make investments in companies like your member organizations? Bryan: Correct, individual angel investment occurs via our constituent groups and their respective members. If companies approach NACO looking for funding, I refer them to one of our member groups that is the best match in terms of location / industry.
