Recognizing Utah's Angel Investors
Utah's angel investors play an integral role in funding early-stage companies that will create jobs and stimulate the economy.

"Angels play an essential part of our free market economy. They back the entrepreneurs who build the companies that create the jobs that make our nation strong. Without angels, none of my companies would have gone as far as they did--and some would have failed completely. Since September, in the worst economic climate I've ever seen, FamilyLink has raised money from ten angel investors, turned profitable, and is now hiring lots of new employees."
