ZINO Society Facilitates $7 Million in Angel Financing in 2006
In Its First Year since Inception, ZINO Society Helps Connect Accredited Investors with Entrepreneurs Seeking Funding
ZINO Society, a premier membership, business and social network that connects accredited investors with entrepreneurs seeking funding, announced today that in its first year in business, it helped facilitate more than $7 million in angel financing for presenting companies in 2006. Presenting company investments ranged from $25,000 to $2 million and included consumer product, technology, life sciences and wine related businesses.
"We are extremely pleased to see the tremendous momentum we've built in our first year at ZINO Society and look forward to continued growth," said Cathi Hatch, CEO of ZINO Society. "Our team works very hard to offer our membership roundtable and social events they can't find anywhere else - and an ecosystem that encourages camaraderie and support and access to carefully screened and coached early stage companies."
With more than 238 members and growing, ZINO Society is not your traditional angel investment group. ZINO Society's unique roundtable and social events provide entrepreneurs an opportunity to showcase their businesses, and investors and business leaders a chance to a network and invest in a relaxed and supportive environment.
"ZINO Society offered us a rare opportunity to personally interact with potential investors and community leaders, gain feedback and build relationships with influencers to grow our business," said Joseph Whinney, CEO and President, Theo Chocolate. "With ZINO, we are able to interact with key decision makers in business and the community all over a glass of fine wine."
ZINO Society will be hosting its first roundtable meeting of the New Year at the new Pan Pacific Hotel in Seattle from 5:00 - 8:00 pm, and is open to new members. For more information or to register, visit
