Launch NY is a venture development organization and active seed funder covering Upstate New York.
Launch NY has become a fundamental piece of the Western New York and Upstate New York startup economies.
The nonprofit venture development organization, which raised a $15M-plus for-profit LLP fund last year, recently penned a blog about why people should consider investing in startup.
The article covers "why investors choose to invest in startups, the benefits of angel investing, how to start investing in early stage companies, and why regional startup investing has become increasingly compelling."
Along with its internal funding sources, Launch NY also convenes the Investor Network, which includes hundreds of angels intersted in backing locally rooted startup companies.
