Virginia Active Angel Network, VAAN, is a professionally managed club of angel investors who gather for ten dinner meetings from September through July in Charlottesville and Blacksburg/Roanoke, VA. Started in 2005 by a group of University of Virginia alumni, and joined by New Vantage Group of McLean, Virginia, VAAN seeks to bring energy, expertise and entrepreneurs together to create opportunities to invest and network with other like-minded angel investors throughout Virginia. VAAN recently expanded to the Blacksburg and Roanoke area of Virginia with a kick-off dinner on October 17, 2006.
