"Every ANGEL INVESTOR has his own experience and track record," says Mike Siewruk, a local angel who has invested in five companies since 1997. Most have built and sold a business and are looking for somewhere to park the money they've made. Or they're running a successful company and have capital to invest. In either case, Siewruk says, they bring dollars and a raft of experiences that can be invaluable to a young entrepreneur."
