Bentonville, Ark. — 412 Angels will host the next 412 Angels/NWA Summit at the Record in Bentonville, Arkansas from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on January 26. The Summit is for prospective and seasoned investors in Northwest Arkansas and Tulsa and will highlight investment firm Torch Capital and Atento Capital’s shared portfolio company Sollis Health.
The goal of the Summit is to bring together interested investors and founders from both Tulsa and Northwest Arkansas who are looking to grow the startup ecosystem in the heartland and foster more economic development for the region.
“Our first summit featured speakers from MaC Ventures, BBG Ventures, Vast Ventures, and Ox as well as 50+ accredited investors and executives from the Tulsa and Northwest Arkansas regions,” said Sterling Smith, Managing Director of Atento Capital and 412 Angels. “We are excited to see how the community’s interest in angel investing has evolved since our last gathering and look forward to what’s to come.”
Summit educates community on angel investing
For the upcoming Summit, 412 Angels is featuring the founding partners of Torch Capital, one of the top NYC based early-stage venture capital funds who invest in the next generation of tech enabled consumer companies.
They will be speaking about their perspectives on the state of the venture capital market and insights into their journey becoming investors.

Sollis Health is a membership-based concierge emergency/ critical health solution providing members with zero-wait, high quality medical care, infused with hospitality and high-touch customer service.

Accredited investors will have the opportunity to invest in Sollis Health through AngelList in advance of the event through February 3, 2023.
