The popularity of being a part of an Angel Network has grown significantly. Not only because of the rise of entrepreneurship and the increasing accessibility of startup ventures, #angelnetworking has become a vital component of the #startup ecosystem. Grand Strand Angel Network here in Myrtle Beach allows investors to diversify their investment portfolios by backing a range of startups across different industries and stages of development. Angel investors do more than provide funding, they bring valuable expertise, industry connections, and mentorship to the table. This is invaluable for startups in their early stages of development.
