Jefferson Grapevine audience engages speakers at RCC/SOU Higher Education Center

The Southern Oregon Angel Network is an alliance of accredited investors, who are successful entrepreneurs, retired executives, and other business leaders in the southern Oregon region who provide investment capital, strategic advice and mentoring to early-stage companies or companies embarking on major expansion efforts to help them achieve market leadership.

The Southern Oregon Angel Network includes business leaders with extensive experience in related industries and who seek to stimulate economic expansion in the region.

The Southern Oregon Angel Network will provide its members with access to a steady flow of promising entrepreneurs who need "risk" capital that is normally not available through other sources. The ultimate goal is to help investors make profitable investments in the high risk/high return private equity market, while fueling the growth of early stage companies in the southern Oregon region.

Impacting the Local Economy and Community

The Southern Oregon Angel Network activities will improve the economic quality of life in the southern Oregon region by supporting local entrepreneurs in building strong businesses that create new jobs and stimulate the regional economy. The founding sponsor for the Southern Oregon Angel Network is Avista Utilities.
