Karen Rands, founder, LAUNCHfn

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting a lady by the name of Karen Rands at a venture capital meeting held at C'est Bon restaurant in Lithonia, GA.  Ms. Rands is the founder and creator of LaunchFn.  At LaunchFn, small businesses get help developing and building their companies so that they can attract early stage capital and execute on their business strategies. 

The network of small business investors, alternative lenders, angel investor networks, early stage venture capital sources and institutional capital investors has been cultivated  over the years. 

Ms. Rands' holding company, Kugarand Holdings, LLC acquired the Network of Business Angels and Investors (NBAI) in early 2005 to provide a forum for the clients of LAUNCHfn seeking to find angel investors to gain credible access to a thriving angel group. 

 NBAI hosts meetings each month to match small businesses seeking funding to investors.  The next event is November 11, 2009 in Atlanta.  You can click on the calendar of events to find out more. 

For more info: You can find out more about Ms. Karen Rands and the NBAI and LAUNCHfn at the LAUNCHfn website.
