FARMINGTON HILLS – The Great Lakes Angels will be hosting five companies on Jan. 13 each of which will present a short pitch to these accredited investors in hopes of landing some cash.
The event will be held at UHY Advisors in Farmington Hills. Registration stats at 4:30 pm. Companies presentations start at 5:30 and conclude around 7:30 pm.
“We have a calendar of events at our website that indicate investor presentations and an investor and entrepreneur education series every other month for the first part of 2016,” said GLA Chairman David Weaver. “We want to encourage more entrepreneurs and investors to connect with better knowledge of the process of funding early stage companies.”
The Great Lakes Angels is a nonprofit corporation. The mission is to organize and mentor angel investors and provide a forum for them to grow in knowledge and wealth and foster more of the same – to help invest in entrepreneurial companies in the Region. GLA typically has numerous “deals” presented, high-level content and quality speakers and panelists on key issues of angel investing. Current “Angels” and high net worth “potential Angels” can meet in a confidential and educational environment to discover opportunities for mutual areas of investment. Experts can be identified and shared to assist in due diligence on technologies outside the individual’s own comfort zone and help transition investors into new exciting technologies for the growth of companies in the Region and their own personal portfolio.
The five companies presenting include:
MessageWrap
MessageWrap transforms the dirty black conveyor belt at supermarkets into an antibacterial HD billboard in the highest traffic area.

Handstand’s latest innovation, MessageWrap, is a custom-printed antimicrobial checkstand belt cover.
