One week after launching the state's new
angel investor tax credit program, state officials had received 20 applications for certification as of Monday.
All businesses, investors, and angel funds must be certified before applying for a tax credit allocation. Officials have already received one application for credit allocation.
The statute says state officials can only release the names of businesses and investors that have been certified.
Six entities had been certified through Monday. They include:
--
OrthoCor Medical, Inc., a company that makes a device for treating knee pain
--Investors Donald Schreifels, Sheri Aggarwal, and Charles Floyd
--and the Twin Cities Angel II, LLC, fund
Spokeswoman Kirsten Morell said more applications are coming in every day.
