“Angel network hires McCombs student”
May 20, 2011
MBA student Jeff Harbach was appointed as The Central Texas Angel Network’s first full-time employee to handle investor relations. Harbach is currently completing his MBA in France at one of Europe’s most prestigious business schools, HEC Paris, and will embark upon his new role in August. The Austin Business Journal reports:
The move to a full-time employee coordinating CTAN’s activities is the latest in a series of indicators that the popularity of angel investing is surging in Central Texas. Such growth is a positive development for local entrepreneurs seeking investment in early-stage companies and investors who want to be involved in Austin’s startup community.
“We want to strengthen the [executive director] position for entrepreneurs to get advice and investments,” Harbach said.
Harbach is an MBA candidate focusing on entrepreneurship and marketing. He owns several small businesses, including two 7-Eleven franchise stores. At McCombs, Harbach is a member of the Entrepreneur Society, the CleanTech Group, the Graduate Consulting Group, the Graduate Finance Association, the Graduate Real Estate Society and the Sports, Entertainment & Media Association.
