Vanquish Worldwide Invests in Private Equity Network Angel Capital Group To Provide More Infrastructure, Support to Local and U.S. Economy
Knoxville, Tn (PRWEB) November 05, 2015 -- With the investment, Angel Capital Group (ACG) staff will support its entrepreneurs and investors from satellite offices at Business Owners Benefits Association (BOBA) national headquarters, another Vanquish sister company, in Maryville, Tenn., providing more infrastructure and support to its clients nationwide.
“Strategic investors and extraordinary entrepreneurs are the economy-drivers and will surely prosper through greater stability and more resilience across the private equity network, thus not only helping the local communities where startups are rooting their businesses but the nation as a whole,” Vanquish Worldwide President and CEO Eric W. Barton said. “I am excited for the future as ACG and Vanquish work hand in hand to enhance the benefits of angel investing.”
A visionary in his own right, Barton serves as ACG board member and major shareholder. ACG CEO Eric Dobson said Barton brings a wealth of knowledge and strategy from his successful startup companies, including Vanquish, which provides logistics solutions and a variety of services to government and commercial clients worldwide, a top-quality technical institute, Peak, and BOBA, an association committed to returning financial balance to small businesses and nonprofits.
“Eric is a brilliant operator. He has helped focus our marketing, operations and leadership. He understands associations and networks at a level that most don’t,” Dobson said. “His expertise and marrying us up with Vanquish gives us access to a much larger organizational infrastructure. That’s critical for our success.”
Angel Capital Group, with operations in nine states, consolidated with RAIN Source Capital in 2014, committing funds for investing in the most highly-prized startups around the nation. The combined entity enjoys a 10-year history and has invested approximately $44M in 135 companies across a variety of market sectors, creating over 4,500 jobs and $750M in follow-on capital investments by other funds.
