AAIC Products Educational Materials Our core mission and related core competence is educational. We are developing or are having professionals develop educational materials that are intended to provide our members opportunities to learn from the experiences and education of others. Among materials under development are: due diligence guidance templates and programs for economic, financial, legal, and personal (background checks) due diligence. We are also developing guidance materials and templates for understanding and negotiating the shareholder agreement, which is the basic document that specifies the terms and conditions of the investment and the rights and remedies of all parties to the agreement. Other materials are in varying stage of planning and design. A key consideration in preparation of these materials is their direct application to your investment experience. Thus, they will be hands-on summaries that you can use as you take decisions throughout the investment and monitoring processes. Annual Conference AAIC™ will hold a conference for its members each year. The conferences will feature speakers, workshops, panel discussions, and networking. The principle value of our annual conference is the opportunity for members from clubs and locales that are not their own or are not nearby to meet and share their experiences and to make communication through the network and the Data Library personal, more open, and more complete. Meeting face-to-face will tie the network tighter than other distributed networks are, even if the distances between AAIC™ members or clubs are generally greater than are those of other networks. It builds credibility and trust among our members and it creates a sense of responsibility in them to the interests of other members in transactions and communications. Future AAIC™ Products Angel Investor Data Library™ All members of AAIC™ clubs have access to the Angel Investor Data Library™ ("Data Library"). The Data Library is an Internet-enabled database that includes contact information, investment preferences, and summary business and education biography for each member. It also includes the detailed, transaction based investment experience of each member and of non-members who participate in our quarterly survey of angel investors. This data is confidential; access to it is limited only to the transactions. No transaction is identified with any particular investor. Depending on the nature of your query, your search of transactions may produce the dates, amounts, and company names of initial investments, follow-on investments, and liquidity events of all transactions in software companies. Your search cannot yield the names of the investors who made those investments. AAIC™ retains that information to assure the integrity of the data in the Data Library. Learning lessons from the experience of others and understanding investment patterns as they form is a core purpose of the Data Library.
