vFinance.com LAUNCHES ANGELSEARCH

vFinance.com, the Web's Financial Opportunity Exchange, has announced the launch of AngelSearch, an online wealth identification tool designed to help growing businesses pinpoint America's wealthiest individuals as potential sources for investment. The tool also represents a new era in lead generation for direct marketers. How does it work?

Unlike other angel search sites where searches can cost over $400, AngelSearch is inexpensive and requires no bothersome registration. For as little as 50 cents per record, AngelSearch delivers contact information on wealthy individuals by industry experience, net worth and geography. . . drilled down to zip code level. The tool is built around sophisticated prospecting technology which identifies high net worth individuals through advanced data mining technology.

"With access to over 80,000 Angels, entrepreneurs can now pinpoint potential investors by prior investments in similar companies and then cross-reference by geography," according to Tim Mahoney, Chairman of vFinance.com. "With the addition of AngelSearch we now offer entrepreneurs and CEO's unrestricted online access to the industry's most powerful financing tools, including databases of America's wealthy investors, leading VC firms and private lenders."

As a complementary feature, vFinance.com also gives high net worth investors the ability to be preferentially listed, thereby enabling them (on a confidential basis) to receive deals directly from entrepreneurs and start-up companies.

Other Angel Sites

Gaining access to other Angel-centric sites can be costly -- both in time and money. Most require a cumbersome registration process, complex forms and high fees, including one site that charges a $450 enrollment fee just to gain access to their investor services.

"You could search AngelSearch and discover executives and stockholders in companies like Cisco, Netscape, Chase Manhattan or Exxon," Mahoney reports. "It's a powerful tool for entrepreneurs in search of investment capital, advice and mentoring from experienced professionals."
