Angel investors are crucial to the growth of a healthy economy. Angels typically make investments earlier in the development of a company than venture capital providers. They are also able to provide experience in business operations, industry knowledge and contacts. Angel investments can positively influence the growth of a company with more than just money. The Aurora Angel Network (Aurora) will be the leading professional association supporting the success of angel investors in high-growth, early-stage ventures in Puerto Rico (PR). Our goal is to fuel the success of an emerging angel investor community through advocacy, education and relationship building. We believe this angel community will also positively impact PR’s economic recovery. Aurora is focused on facilitating pre-negotiated deals and ensuring smart capital will be invested by a committed and enthusiastic membership.
