Wings, the Medical Device Angel Network, Poised for Lift-Off at Initial Meeting

The Northwest’s new medical device angel investing network, called Wings http://www.medtechwings.com/ , is showing more signs that it is starting to get off the ground.

Three local medical device startups have been picked by the Wings selection committee to give 10-minute talks at the angel network’s inaugural invitation-only meeting this Wednesday. The entrepreneurs made it through a vetting process that saw 28 initial applications, says Stephanie Barnes, the program manager for Wings. At the meeting, Russell Investments CEO Russell Doman will give an overview on the investment climate to a group of at least 35 prospective medical device angel investors, Barnes says.
