May 23, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Funding Universe announced the release of a new tool to help investors find deals and facilitate greater interaction between investors.

With the Investor Group tool, investors have the ability to create an online investment group. An investor who belongs to a larger angel group can invite fellow members to look at deals together. For solo investor who occasionally invests with partners, the tool can be used to create a group to look at and discuss deals.

“This tool will provide countless benefits to our investor community,” Brock Blake, CEO of FundingUniverse says. “Investors can connect and discuss deals with other investors regardless of location. This tool has created a way for greater collaboration among angel investors.”

According to Blake, this tool has the potential to become an investor’s most valuable asset to look for new deals. Investment partners living on opposite coasts can now easily look at and discuss deals anywhere they have an internet connection.

Invitations can be extended from one investor to another allowing the investors to grow the group to as large as they would like it to be. Once the group is created an investor can discuss interest in a particular plan with all of your potential investment partners online, without contacting the entrepreneur directly. Additional collaboration tools include voting, message posting and email.

“Investors are already beginning to adopt this new tool,” Blake explains. “Our investors have begun to invite investment partners to join personal groups. The investors seem to be excited to have a tool to help them locate the perfect deal.”

Accredited investors can easily create an online investment group. Simply, log in to your investor account on Funding Universe. Investors must first be approved on the FundingUniverse website. After registering, investors can create a new investor group. Investors can select a group name and send out invitations to other investors. After the invitees have registered, the newly create group can look at dealflow together.

According to Blake this new tool will help investors locate deals more efficiently. For more information about the investor group tool visit FundingUniverse.com or contact the company directly at 877.638.3616.
