“Sound governance and board effectiveness is as important to start-ups as it is to established companies,” said Catherine Mott, President and CEO of BlueTree Allied Angels, and past Chairman of Angle Capital Association. ”With Govenda, companies can better plan and manage board communications and meetings, as well as providing a repository of governance documents that are required as companies raise additional capital or prepare for a sale or merger. Equally important for early stage investors and companies, Govenda is affordable, easy to use, and secure.”
In addition to providing Govenda to member companies, ACA is also using Govenda to plan, create and manage board meetings, and board communications. The Govenda iPad app and secure board portal includes meeting scheduling, boardbook and agenda preparation, document annotations, a centralized document repository, board roster management, news and announcements, and polling tools.
“This partnership with ACA will give angel groups, individual investors and their companies access to a full suite of affordable tools to empower boards and improve governance in high-growth, early-stage ventures,” said Marion Lewis, CEO of Govenda. “Designed for and by boards and investors, Govenda makes it easier for early-stage companies to effectively engage and leverage their boards while ultimately giving entrepreneurs and executive management more time to focus on growing their businesses.”
