Traditional venture funding in New York City conjures visions of middle-aged men in pinstripe suits, not basketball stars and celebrities.
The STAR Angel Network, the newest member of the institutional angel investing community in New York, seeks to change that image.
The only network of professional athletes and celebrities committed to finding, funding and promoting promising early stage companies, STAR?s members use their own social media reach and fan base to drive buzz and interest in those startups.
Think of it as real-life influencer investing.
