Does anyone know about a program for women to get funding for small businesses called "Guardian Angel" ?????

I seen a story on the TODAY SHOW about a month ago. It reported about women who were getting funding for their businesses. I am not certain of the name of the organization, but it was named something like guardian angel.....can anyone help???

I think you are talking about angel investors and its not exclusively for women. An angel investor invests his or her own money in your business idea in exchange for a percentage ownership. There are angel investor networks all over the country - ie. groups of angel investors who meet to discuss funding worthy oppertunities. You may want to google your city name + angel investors network to see if something comes up for your area. Or call your local SCORE office (you can look up your local SCORE affilitate at www.score.org). FYI - SCORE is the Service Corp of Retired Executives its a nonprofit group affiliated with the SBA that offers free consulting to businesses or potential business owners. They are a wonderful resource! By the way, angel investment programs are not "grants" you have to pay the investors back through partial ownership or other repayment methods.
