Exclusive social network connects accredited investors

A social network for investors, launched by FundingUniverse, will connect like-minded investors in an invite-only online community.



“We are very excited about this product as it will be a place for like-minded angels and VCs to connect, collaborate, and syndicate deals,” Brock Blake, FundingUniverse CEO explains. “Many investors belong to business or social networks; however, before now, there has not been a network created exclusively for them.”



The exclusive network will be open only to those investors who have been invited to participate. The network has already generated buzz in the investment community. In just two weeks, over 45 of the countries top investors accepted invitations to the network.

Trent Miskin, FundingUniverse CTO and lead developer on the project, explains the network was created to assist investors in locating Dealflow that matches the investor’s investment preferences while connecting investors with other investors.

“In our experience investors enjoy collaborating with one another,” Miskin said. “Investors can now discuss deal flow, ask investment questions, or just get to know investors across the nation through the use of this user-friendly network.”
