FARMINGTON HILLS  – Great Lakes Angels is hosting a workshop on June 14 to teach entrepreneurs, investors and consultants how to do valuation of early stage companies, part of the Angel Resource Institute education program on angel investing.

This is probably the most important question an investor and entrepreneur will ask and answer before executing an investment. The answer often leads to the life or death of a deal, said David Weaver, Great Lakes Angeles Chairman.  The determination of the value of a company is as much an art as it is science. Mastering both takes experience and knowledge.

Valuation of Early Stage Companies is designed to present several key methodologies that many experienced angel investors have found as fundamental in approaching this critical task. They include

* Risk Factor Summation Method

* Venture Capital Method

* Scorecard Method.

Program leader will be Bob Okabe, a Board Director at the Angel Resource Institute, and Managing Director, RPX Group LLC, a consultancy focused on assisting universities, research institutions, and corporations with spinning out some of their innovative technologies as startup companies.

The event will be held at UHY Advisors, 27725 Stansbury Blvd., Suite 100, Farmington Hills, MI  48334. To register, click on www.glangels.org
