TNInvestco: Chambless speaks for NCN

Although the Tennessee Angel Fund, led by Nashville Capital Network Executive Director Sid Chambless, was named an as-yet unfunded Alernate in yesterday's TNInvestco winners announcement, the TNInvestco commissioners announced they'll be seeking additional funding from the General Assembly, come January, and the $40MM targeted could go to Chambless' and Solidus' groups. Meanwhile, Chambless told VNC yesterday, "We are pleased with the results of TNInvestco. Many of the winners already interface with our angel group so we believe NCN's stable of companies and pipeline of opportunities will have good exposure to the TNInvestco funds. Additionally, we believe the Tennessee Angel Fund is a nice complement to the other TNInvestcos and we are optimistic the additional two allocations will come to fruition." Chambless' 22 NCN board members include TNInvestco winner Council Ventures' Katie Gambill and Solidus' Townes Duncan.
