Tune into Part I of our exclusive fundfindr.tv interview with Michael C. Volker, head of the VANTEC Angel Network and 25 year veteran of angel investing.
Mike talks about his early days in his first venture out of the University of Waterloo, how he sold it and how that evolved into his many years supporting and investing in companies as an Angel investor. Mike speaks about the VANTEC angel network works as well as the Western Universities Technology Innovations Fund (WUTIF) angel fund that Mike is also a director of.
Whether you are a start up or an investor, Mike is an angel industry icon with lots to offer whose further credits include being a director of Simon Fraser’s University Liaison office, a frequent keynote presenter and a columnist for TNET and others. We will publish part 2 and 3 of our series with Mike this summer, so subscribe to our fundfindr.tv feed and our newsletter and check back often.
Entrepreneurship and innovation is going strong in the NorthWest. Mike recently announced the largest ever monthly VANTEC meeting over 2 days - July 7th and July 8th - featuring 20 hot new companies including fundfindr!

Mike and his team are to be complemented for their efforts to co-fund technology start-ups in this challenging investment space.
