Cowtown Angels Helps Entrepreneurs Get Their Wings

In 2012, TechFW, a startup accelerator, business incubator and entrepreneur community for Fort Worth, decided to get into the angel investing business. At the time, Fort Worth was a pretty small blip on the venture capital investment scene, according to Darlene Boudreaux, former executive director of TechFW and a founder of Cowtown Angels, an affiliated investor group that has helped fund 45 companies and invested more than $21 million.  

“We love that people are noticing Fort Worth and seeing that we have a community that supports and encourages new ideas,” Boudreaux said. For local companies like Revitalize Charging Solutions, a manufacturer of electric vehicle charging stations, funding from Cowtown Angels was vital to get its concept off the ground.
