PHILADELPHIA - Nov. 13, 2015 - PRLog -- Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic (K4-MA), the industry leader and cornerstone of the Keiretsu Forum angel investment network, recently announced its full November meeting schedule after having great success with its third annual Angel Capital Expo (ACE) last month. The Angel Capital Expo took place on October 28 at Drexel University in Philadelphia and resulted in members making over $250,000 of investments in a number of innovative companies.

“At K4-MA we believe in collaboration. It’s about sharing resources and growing together – both for companies and investors,” says Howard Lubert, K4-MA Region Co-Founder and Area President.

The winner of the coveted $100,000 investment, for the most favored company, at this year's Expo was Tassl, an application for smartphones. The team behind Tassl was awarded a $100,000 investment by K4-MA members who invested into a single purpose limited liability company. Girls Auto Clinic was the recipient of a $50,000 investment – $25,000 of which was an investment from the founders of K4-MA and $25,000 of which were services in kind from Keiretsu Forum sponsors Drucker & Scaccetti and BakerHostetler. Girls Auto Clinic is an organization dedicated to changing the perception of women in the automotive industry through both education and niche marketing.
