Maple Leaf Angels Announces MLA48 Fund II

Maple Leaf Angels (MLA) and Maple Leaf Angels Capital Corporation (MLACC) are pleased to announce the launch of their second Angel Investment Fund, MLA48 Fund II.

The new partnership will be restricted to 48 limited partners and will build on the success of Fund I with expanded size and scope.

"MLA48 Fund I was a phenomenal first step in changing the way investors and entrepreneurs think about raising money in Canada," said Gerard Buckley, Chair of the Board, Maple Leaf Angels Capital Corporation. "With this next fund, we will have an even greater impact on the Canadian startup community."

MLA48 launched in 2014 as a new and innovative way for promising young companies in the information, communication and entertainment sector in southern Ontario to obtain early stage financing. Since launch, MLA48 has invested in Orchard, Sharethebus, ConferenceCloud, and Oneset. In addition to the $60,000 seed investment from MLA48, three investee companies secured follow-on funding from MLA members.

"We are excited to launch MLA48 Fund II and continue the momentum we have built in the Angel Investing community," added Brandon Corman, Managing Director of MLA. "We couldn't have done this without the help of our exceptional legal partner, Aird & Berlis, and the support of all our sponsors."

"We are very pleased to continue our partnership with Maple Leaf Angels," said Mat Goldstein, one of the leaders of Aird & Berlis LLP's Startups Team. "As a strong supporter of startups, we look forward to continuing to provide our legal knowledge and expertise to both founders and funders across Canada."

Maple Leaf Angels is sponsored by Aird & Berlis, BMO Bank of Montreal, BDO Canada, BrightLane, Jones Deslauriers Blevins and ADP.
