VentureSouth named one of top ten angel investment groups in North America

By Staff Report, posted 4 years ago

VentureSouth was recently recognized by the Angel Capital Association as being in the top ten angel investment groups in North America.

 

This is the fourth time that VentureSouth has received the recognition. 

 

VentureSouth was recognized for its  26 investments in 2020, totaling more than nine million dollars. 

 

Just last year, the fourteenth branch of the angel investment group started up in the Fayetteville region. The area director is local businessman Marty Cayton. (Editor’s note: Cayton is the publisher of Greater Fayetteville Business Journal.) The group has 400+ angel investors in the Southeast. 

 

Co-Founder and Managing Director Matt Dunbar said in a press release: "We are honored to once again rank among the largest and most active angel investing organizations in North America - especially in light of all the challenges and uncertainties presented by the pandemic. Our continued momentum is a testament to our highly engaged investors, talented staff, robust investing model - and the resilient entrepreneurs leading our portfolio companies."
