Flynn’s Harp: Marchi touts Big Sky as angel gathering place

Liz Marchi, who guides the Montana Angel Network, hopes to create an awareness on the part of promising entrepreneurs seeking capital that angels are gathering in increasing numbers and quality under the Big Sky.

Marchi, whose primary role is overseeing the Frontier Angel Fund http://frontierangelfund.angelgroups.net/ in Kalispell, is helping to launch the third angel-investor group since assuming oversight of the angel network in the state that she adopted sight unseen a decade ago. She is convinced that nurturing angel-investor support for innovative companies will lure entrepreneurs to create companies in Montana and thus grow the state’s economy.

The July 17 kick-off meeting of the Missoula-based Big Sky Angels group will involve presentations by two companies seeking funds. One is a Ventura, CA, company called Stewart Brown that was incorporated in Montana nine years ago and is now looking to return, which she views as an example of angel support that can lure companies to, or back to, the state.
