The Frontier Angel Fund, LLC will continue to meet its mission of angel investor education by offering a half day workshop on how to value pre revenue and startup businesses.  The workshop will address questions of what to consider in valuing a venture, how angels can make negotiations less contentious, what rules of thumb can be used in crafting or measuring a portfolio and what insight into effective portfolio strategy can investors gain by exploring data from actual angel portfolios.
