These Angels Like to Work as a Team. NY Times Article Featuring Bill Payne of Montana's Frontier Angel Fund

November 14, 2007

YOU would think that if a quarter of a million angel investors were pouring $25.6 billion into fledgling companies, as they were last year, finding one to put money in your own venture would not be hard. Think again: wealthy investors, or angels, don’t advertise themselves.

“I’ve been an angel since 1980,” said William Payne http://matr.net/article-24741.html , an entrepreneur who sold his dielectric-powder making company to DuPont in 1982. “I discovered that if I went to a conference and put ‘Bill Payne, Angel,’ on my badge, I’d leave the conference with 10 business plans, and I’m supposed to be retired.”
