-Work continues on regional 'angel investor network': During Monday's Greater Rome chamber briefing on expanded small business services, the phrase "angel investors" came up several times. The chamber continues to work to form an independent, regional group that would provide some funding for promising start-ups. "This network will offer a new source of capital for worthy ventures, and it has already gained the interest of several prospective employers," says David Newby, chamber chairman. The angel investor group would be separate from the chamber but would be linked to the business group, says Lowell Pratt, the chamber's Small Business Development Coordinator. Chamber members have been talking about an angel investor network since before the group's Symposium on Technology last November. Expanded small business services> Chamber
