ROSELAND, N.J. and SEATTLE, Nov. 18,
2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its commitment to
Seattle's business community,
ADP® today announced it is co-sponsoring the Seattle
Angel Conference IV, an investor-led event committed to helping
train the next generation of angel investors. The conference
aims to stimulate economic and job growth by funding startups more
likely to succeed as a result of their participation in the
conference's rigorous due diligence business evaluation
process.
"Entrepreneurs are as vital to local communities as they are to
the national economy. In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau
reported that 394,000 startups created 2.3 million jobs in 2010.
As the economy continues to strengthen, these figures will
only increase," said Larry
Feinstein, general manager of ADP
ResourceSM. "By participating in the Seattle Angel
Conference, entrepreneurs can increase their chances of success
through the discipline and expertise of Seattle's leading angel investors. It is
a privilege to support regional businesses in this way," Feinstein
added.
ADP Resource, an administrative services offering (ASO), entered
the Seattle market earlier this
year and has actively been helping regional small and midsized
businesses reduce the administrative burdens of human resource
management and manage regulatory complexities, such as those
presented by the Affordable Care Act. As part of their
involvement with this year's conference, ADP Resource is excited to
provide one year's worth of services to the winning company.
"Seattle Angel Investor Conference is thrilled to have ADP
Resource support the growth and development of our local business
community," said John Sechrest of
the Seattle Angel Conference. "Support from companies like
ADP, which started out in a tiny office above an ice cream shop in
Paterson, New Jersey, in 1949, is
a reminder to our startup community that even global businesses
have modest beginnings. It is with the right planning and
mentorship that they grow and thrive."
ADP Resource helps transform how business owners manage their
organization by delivering a comprehensive human resources
management solution that includes payroll and tax filing, employee
assistance, training programs and HR administration. As an
ASO, ADP Resource helps companies focus on growth and client
service, rather than on the administrative tasks associated with HR
administration.
The Seattle Angel Conference will be held at 12:30 p.m. PT on November
20, 2013, at Impact Hub Seattle, 220 2nd Ave. South,
Seattle, WA 98104.
