EDINBORO -- Have you ever thought about starting your own business?

"Angel Investing 101," a program hosted by Edinboro University's Business & Economics Department, can provide budding business owners with a head start.

Catherine Mott, CEO of BlueTree Capital Group, will discuss the differences between angel investors and venture capitalists for financing startup businesses during "Angel Investing 101."

The event will be held Tuesday from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m. in Room 117 of Wiley Arts & Sciences Center. This interactive presentation is especially appropriate for would-be entrepreneurs.

A two-time alumna of Edinboro University, Mott was a high schoolteacher for eight years before she began working in finance. She founded BlueTree Capital Group in 2003 as a way to support new businesses and coach entrepreneurs throughout the process of launching a company.

"Angel Investing 101" is free and open to the public. It is offered as part of the Business Speaker Series sponsored by Edinboro's Department of Business & Economics, and is also supported by the Delta Mu Delta business honor society.
