2013 was a great year for angel investors, including many ACA member angel groups. Several had successful exits, others made more investments than they ever have in a year, and new groups made investments for the first time.

It is important to celebrate these successes, which happened to members in all parts of North America. Here are some great examples:

IPOs:

• Marrone Bio Innovations Announces Closing of IPO (investors include Band of Angels - Menlo Park, CA, Sacramento Angels - Sacramento, CA, and Sierra Angels - Incline Village, NV)
