New York Angels’ Post

New York Angels Members are known for mentoring companies, and they often help their portfolio companies by also being a board member or board observer. NYA members provide not only capital for companies, but counsel and connections too. https://lnkd.in/ggGr9UWy "When first becoming a board member or advisor, it’s super helpful to speak to others who have done it for initial guidance." Cindy Cook - NYA Chair #newyorkangels #boardmember #advisor

New York Angels Members help entrepreneurs by investing in their companies, but they also can do so much beyond providing capital. Many NYA Members also serve as Board Members or Board Observers for their companies. “As a Board Member or Observer, you have two roles. First, most of the time you are responsible for basic oversight tasks. And second, once in a while you have an opportunity (and a responsibility) to help the company pivot to avert disaster and/or seize a promising path forward. The key is to understand when and how to intervene when the second circumstances arise." - Seth Masters #boardmember #earlystageinvesting #entrepreneurs #pivot

Buoy was named one of the Top 12 Best Electrolyte Drinks and #1 for Unflavored. Congrats to Daniel Schindler and the entire Buoy team! "Buoy Hydration Drops are our favorite unflavored way to get electrolytes. We could not detect any added flavor whether we mixed this in water or other flavored beverages like juice. Because it’s liquid, it mixed well with fluids and was completely undetectable. This product is also third-party tested, which isn’t common for electrolytes." #newyorkangels #earlystageinvesting #angelinvestors https://lnkd.in/gHGDxWKW
