Seattle Angel Investor Conference Helps Spur Growth

As part of its commitment to Seattle's business community, ADP today announced it is co-sponsoring the Seattle Angel Conference IV, an investor-led event committed to helping train the next generation of angel investors.  The conference aims to stimulate economic and job growth by funding startups more likely to succeed as a result of their participation in the conference's rigorous due diligence business evaluation process.

“Entrepreneurs are as vital to local communities as they are to the national economy.  In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that 394,000 startups created 2.3 million jobs in 2010.  As the economy continues to strengthen, these figures will only increase,” said Larry Feinstein, general manager of ADP ResourceSM.  “By participating in the Seattle Angel Conference, entrepreneurs can increase their chances of success through the discipline and expertise of Seattle's leading angel investors.  It is a privilege to support regional businesses in this way,” Feinstein added.

ADP Resource, an administrative services offering (ASO), entered the Seattle market earlier this year and has actively been helping regional small and midsized businesses reduce the administrative burdens of human resource management and manage regulatory complexities, such as those presented by the Affordable Care Act.  As part of their involvement with this year's conference, ADP Resource is excited to provide one year's worth of services to the winning company.
