My name is Paul Silva, an entrepreneur, angel group manager, mentor, and teacher. You can find my full bio on LinkedIn. But in a nutshell what I do is…
- Help students go from idea to launch at the Entrepreneurship Center at Isenberg (UMass Amherst) and the UMass Amherst Entrepreneurship Initiative.
- Help seed-stage entrepreneurs gain social capital through mentoring at Valley Venture Mentors.
- Help angel investors work together to find, evaluate, and invest in exciting early-stage companies at the River Valley Investors.
- I provide fee-based (sorry, not cheap! See above links for cheaper/free options
) advice to select entrepreneurs on developing relationships with angel and venture capital.
Client Quotes
“I worked with Angel Catalyst for several reasons. First, I wanted to learn about the world of Angel Investing. AC succeeded. Second, I needed a summary business plan and presentation in order to create interest from early stage investors. Again, success. Finally, I found that AC was a good resource to bounce ideas off of and to work through tricky questions. I felt the experience was well worth the investment.”
- David Dean – CEO, Yamisee
“…To put it bluntly, this angel group wouldn’t exist without Paul Silva’s work, integrity, and business acumen.”
- Joseph Steig – Founding Manager of River Valley Investors and CFO of Long River Ventures
