Leading American angel investor Bill Payne will be part of a panel at next week's Angel@mytable event in Tauranga for aspiring entrepreneurs.
Organised by the Venture Centre as part of its buildup to next month's Tauranga Start Up Weekend, the event aims to expose people embarking on start-ups to how
angel investors think, said Venture Centre co-founder Jo Allum.
"We want to give entrepreneurs a good idea of all the different elements involved in the journey of building their start-up company," she said. "Getting capital into the business is an important part of it and one of the ways of doing that is through angels."
Ms Allum described the event as a "reverse" Dragon's Den.
"Instead of entrepreneurs pitching ideas, they will be able to question the angel investors on how they can contribute to their business and what they require."
