Gulf South Angels Expands Across Alabama

Regional angel investment group NO/LA Angel Network has announced that it is rebranding as the Gulf South Angels (GSA) and extending its footprint from eastern Texas to the Florida Panhandle to southern Arkansas to Tennessee and west of Atlanta, which includes Mobile and Baldwin counties. GSA says that, while its headquarters will remain in New Orleans, it will continue to broaden its membership and investment reach. GSA specializes in evaluating, funding and nurturing early-stage companies, leveraging a network model that empowers members to make individual investment decisions. Its members primarily focus on Seed or Series A financing rounds but also participate in Series B and C rounds of companies in dynamic growth markets characterized by strong value propositions, sound business plans and strong management teams. They seek ventures with regional, national or international scaling potential and a viable exit strategy. Past investments have spanned diverse sectors, from software to biotech to fashion to consumer packaged goods.
