Hi everyone, check out the newest installment of our Funding link roundup. Here are some resources that may help out those in the process of raising money for their business. Enjoy!

Example of an effective angel network

While there are a number of high-quality angel networks, it can be hard for both investors and companies to find the right ones. Look at Open Angel Network in Vancouver as an example, with a strong track record of company curation and investor engagement that has resulted in completed investments well above the industry average.

A new way to funding local and community-based startups

Wayblaze has launched to help local-centric startups through to community projects raise from the crowd. The focus is good, and what makes the platform unique is the ability for entrepreneurs to raise in all forms – rewards, loans, and equity. Take a look and review the NADA campaign as an example of a hugely successful campaign!
