The name On Site Opera was definitely derived from a mission-drive place. I found Dilate and loved the definition; Dilate comes from the Latin word ‘Dilatare’ meaning to grow, to expand, to enlarge and elaborate. Luckily I didn’t have to – a friend ended up texting me and my business partner, suggesting the name Codal.

By definition, angels are accredited investors, who invest their own money for a percentage of the business. Groups of angels may syndicate multiple individual amounts, but if your total request exceeds $1 million, you need to focus on the venture capital alternatives.

Some angel investors join together in syndicates. The fund managers, who are called"general partners," get about 2% of the fund annually as a managementfee, plus about 20% of the funds gains. Not all the people who work at VC firms are partners. Its the partners who decide, and they view things witha colder eye.
