Share Print Font: +-NEW YORK, NY — GATE Technologies announced today that it has acquired a controlling interest in Angels in Action ("AIA"), a peer-to-peer, micro-finance platform serving US-based entrepreneurs. The transaction will enhance the offerings of GATE Global Impact, a GATE subsidiary focused on Impact investing.

Entrepreneurs currently use AIA's platform to fund business projects when access to the traditional banking system is not available. Individual lenders can help fund AIA projects, putting forward as little as $10 at a time.

Once AIA is integrated into GATE Global Impact's trading platform, known as GATEway, companies will have the opportunity to grow beyond their initial funding stages while maintaining their social mission. As such, GATE's acquisition enables entrepreneurs to access leading Impact investors.

"There is a strong desire for Americans to assist entrepreneurs in creating their American dream," said Stephen Bonenberger, founder and CEO of AIA. "By partnering with GATE, AIA will play its part in helping rebuild the financial infrastructure needed to ensure the US continues to lead the world with a great, vibrant economy."

Bonenberger added, "There is clearly a new customer demographic in the marketplace. Purchasing methods and tools have evolved. By integrating AIA's platform with GATEway, we will ultimately facilitate Impact investing and micro-finance in the US market. In addition, we aim to redefine the boundaries of community banking."

"We are proud to extend our platform in the emerging U.S. micro-finance sector and connect with a historically overlooked demographic that has proven profitable globally," said William Davis, President of GATE Global Impact.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
