Burton Lee presented on Space Angels Network, an online platform connecting space entrepreneurs with angel investors. The presentation covered: 1) the difficulty of seed-stage funding for space startups due to a lack of angel investors; 2) Space Angels Network's goal of aggregating individual space angels and sustainable deal flow; and 3) the network's strategy of offering diverse, lower risk space-related investment opportunities to broaden interest before introducing higher risk "NewSpace" companies.
