CTEK Angels Make "Solid" Investment
Former Sun Microsystems exec Sue Kunz and her new startup, Solidware Technologies have received funding from Colorado's CTEK Angels, bringing the company's total investments received to $425,000.

According to the Denver Business Journal, Solidware has a funding goal of $1 million, so it sounds like there's an opportunity for other agels to participate.  Solid management team, other angels are already involved, cool technology ... Could be fun.

CTEK is quietly becoming one of the most active angel groups in the country.  The group claims to have invested over $5 million in 17 companies during its first three years of existence.  Not bad, considering the fact that 63% of angel groups didn't make an investment in 2005 (a miserable fact that I'll address in a future blog post).

Jeff... You say "that 63% of angel groups didn't make an investment in 2005." I'd love to know where you got this info. Quite a statistic!

I was suprised when I found that one too, Gary. I got the stat from a Fortune Magazine article. Here's the reference and the link:

"For starters, while more angels are joining networks, many aren't doing any actual investing. In 2005, 62.3% of angel-group members were "latent"--meaning they hadn't done a deal in 12 months. That's up from 48% in 2003. And informal groups that don't charge fees tend to do more deals than the structured outfits with paid employees ..."
