The Mississippi Angel Network ("the Network") is a group of accredited investors interested in reviewing fundraising presentations from Mississippi-based technology companies seeking seed and growth capital.
The Network is comprised of several chapters around the state. The Network is administered by the Mississippi Technology Alliance ("MTA") and is comprised of accredited individual and institutional investors from inside and outside of the state. Companies typically seek funding ranging from $200,000 to $1 million and represent many technologies such as software, life sciences, and communications. Companies seeking funding via the Network must either be headquartered in Mississippi or have substantial operations within the state.
