i2E Inc. recently led a $1.25 million seed round investment in Linear Health Sciences, a Norman-based innovative medical technology startup.
Ten years ago, Oklahoma’s landscape for seed capital was like Black Mesa. We were high and dry. There was no venture capital money here. SeedStep Angels hadn’t been organized yet. Entrepreneurs simply didn’t have access to the investment capital to fund the milestones that move young companies from concept to startup to potential successes in the marketplace.
Angel investors are called angels for a reason. These accredited investors are the primary source of early stage capital for startup firms. The metric for angel investing is return on investment; however, angels, who are often former entrepreneurs or retired business persons, also show a strong desire to help entrepreneurs.
