Yes. Following the investment, Midlo Angels will be available to assist the founders in a number of ways. MAN angels can help identify and assess management candidates and board members.

They can help craft the company’s financial strategy in raising follow-on capital, and assist with customer acquisition and alliance building.

They can also assist with issues involving organizational structure, sales, marketing, and distribution strategies, and other challenges entrepreneurs face in building a strong company.

In addition to MAN members, the angel network has relationships with other organizations and incubators that are available to further assist entrepreneurs, and those support services would be made available to the early-stage company as well.
