Event Overview:
Angel investors are constantly looking for the best deals.  Entrepreneurs often run into challenges raising capital, even after local angel investors participate.  Co-investment (called syndication by many angel groups) is one of the keys to making sure that the best companies raise enough capital to win.  Angel investors that are in these syndicated deals often have a better chance of being in a winning deal when the exit happens as well.

Keiretsu Forum, the world’s largest investment community of private equity (angel) investors, announced that $32.2 million was raised by 37 promising companies in 2014 through Keiretsu Forum Northwest.  The Keiretsu Forum Northwest chapters now encompass seven chapters in Seattle, Kirkland, Portland (including SW Washington and all of Oregon), Boise, Spokane, Victoria and Vancouver, BC.  Keiretsu Forum Northwest is on track to exceed this number in 2015.  Keiretsu Forum is exploring the idea of holding regular meetings in Bend for members and guests. 

In 2014, the Keiretsu Forum also launched a new co-investment fund, called Keiretsu Capital, which focuses on co-investing in high quality US-based emerging companies that have been funded by Keiretsu Forum network investors as well those that have received funding from other top tier angel groups.

Lastly, the Keiretsu Forum Northwest and VectorPoint Ventures teams have been exploring the potential of launching a collaborative regional co-investment fund, focused on companies in the Northwest Region.  Regional investors, such as those in Bend, would be able to participate in a regional company portfolio that co-invests in the best early stage companies from Central Oregon and from other Northwest regional economies.
