Spotlight: UAS Angel Network
By Craig Mahaney, Executive Director, UAS Angel Network
Developing an idea into a prototype in the UAS and AAM technology space is both complex and expensive. We created the UAS Angel Network to help solve some of the early pre-seed capital challenges many of these companies face. Our goal is to provide a nationwide network of angel investors, seed funds and venture capital firms who understand the industry and are comfortable investing is this technology. The UAS Angel Network holds bi-monthly pitch sessions where start-ups can connect with interested investors ready and able to come along side them and provide the necessary capital needed for growth.

If you are a company seeking early stage funding please visit our website www.uasangelnet.com and apply for funding. If you are an accredited investor, angel fund or investment firm looking for opportunities in Unmanned Aerial Systems, Advanced Air Mobility, and their supporting technologies, than please contact the network's Executive Director (Craig Mahaney) at cmahaney@dcnteam.com or visit the website to apply for membership. Our next pitch session will take place in May.
