Entrepreneurs Briefed on Angel Investing
Angels in training. Members of the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry attend a seminar on angel investing.
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Cebu is planning to create an angel investment group in Cebu to fund local startups with the help of the Cebu business community.

Last Monday, the agency, in partnership with the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), conducted a seminar on angel investing for members of the CCCI and the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI).

DTI-Cebu Director Ma. Elena Arbon said the seminar was meant to make the business community understand the dynamics of startups and angel investing to help them make better-informed investment decisions.

“We target those entrepreneurs who are ready for this thinking. We want them to be more open to working with our startups,” said Arbon, adding that a startup venture is a high-risk, high-reward undertaking.

“The business community can provide mentorship for our startups or traction in their operations,” she said.
