Could you use a tax break?
Do you feel that your early-stage investments are good for the economy and should be encouraged?
So does Liddy Karter.
Sandwiched between Boston and New York you'll find the Angel Investor Forum in Connecticut. Liddy sees a lot of activity in both cities and it's led to a year where "we've invested more in 2009 than ever before!". You haven't heard that on the show lately, so who better to be leading the Angel Capital Association's Committee for Public Policy?
Another $30 billion for General Motors as they enter bankruptcy, unbelievable! What would $1B do if it were spread around to angel groups? Liddy can imagine, but is anybody listening? Not in Connecticut according to Liddy. Instead head to North Dakota, Hawaii or Maine for the best tax incentives for angels. And what has Wisconsin done to earn her vote for the strongest example of public policy effectiveness?
Save the date: check out Liddy's New Angel Summit (angels from New Jersey, New York, and New England in New Haven, get it?) September 17th.
