Alden Zecha gives generously of his time and expertise, serving on ACA’s Board of Directors and as an Angel University Instructor. “I am passionate about promoting angel investing as a way to foster innovation and drive economic growth while generating financial returns. Angel investors play a key role in nurturing revolutionary ideas and shaping the future of how we live and work. By sharing my experiences and insights, I hope to empower others to learn from my successes and especially my failures. I believe that open dialogue and knowledge-sharing can significantly contribute to personal and professional growth. Volunteering with AIF allows me to pursue these passions and make a positive impact.” - Alden Zecha Thank you so much to Alden for all you do!
