Boy has a lot changed!! In 2004 Karen Rands formed the LAUNCH Funding Network (www.launchfn.com) to help entrepreneurs get access to the early stage capital and strategic resources they need to launch and successfully grow their businesses. In 2005 she acquired the Network of Business Angels & Investors (www.nbai.net) to grow the angel investor community in the Southeast and connect angel groups from all over the United States. With the combination of these two highly successful endeavors, over 25 companies have received capital totaling over $30 Million. So now we Celebrate Companies connecting with Capital and Capital Connecting with Companies:

Karen Rands has become the Guru for entrepreneurs and angel investors. As the Venture Catalyst for this early stage market she shares these insights on her weekly radio show (Noon on Fridays) at www.blogtalkradio.com/karen-rands appropriately called the Compassionate Capitalist Radio Hour. A compassionate capitalist is someone who invests time, money and resource into early stage entrepreneurs to bring innovation to the market, create jobs, and create wealth for the founders and investors. Her team has created a phenomenal Access to Capital System and is sought after to provide her unique insight and sage expertise to help companies figure out what they need to do to attract capital. Through the events her firm coordinates and promotes, entrepreneurs are given a forum to pitch their opportunity to investors.
