Westchester Angels' Sandy Wollman Featured in Zee TV's 'Break Through The Crowd'

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the County's leading business minds – Sandy Wollman of investor group Westchester Angels – is ascending to the national media stage. Wollman has been tapped as an expert investor and panelist for the new Zee TV program "Break Through The Crowd."

With the rising popularity of shows where budding entrepreneurs pitch their business for financial investments, "Break Through The Crowd" is a new series that will give a handful of lucky contestants a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn their entrepreneurial dreams into a reality by pitching their ideas to some of the sharpest minds in business. In the end, Wollman and his co-panelists Alan Brody (CEO of iBreakfast Startupalooza and founder of Blockchain Breakthroughs), Nick Adams (co-founder and managing partner of Differential Ventures) and Ramit Arora (co-founder and president of Biz2Credit) will decide who gets a shot at a crowd-funded campaign.

"Zee TV is an Indian premium cable and satellite network that also produces TV shows, movies and news for more than 1.3 billion viewers in 173 countries. With 4,800+ movie titles and 260K+ hours of television content across the world, we can't wait for our audience to watch 'Break Through The Crowd.' Each of the individuals profiled for this series has an important story to tell and we hope to inspire our viewers by sharing their experiences in a truly compelling and unique way," said Sameer Targe, CEO, Zee Americas.

Wollman boasts extensive business acumen. Working alongside his co-founding partners Jeff Loehr and Michael Wieser, Westchester Angels has invested more than $500,000 in eight businesses in the Metropolitan New York Area. The group has grown exponentially since its 2015 launch, contributing to the success of a range of businesses, including tech firms and consumer good companies. Recently, Westchester Angels partnered with Mercy College, inviting graduate students to attend investor meetings and glean first-hand experience. Beyond the group, Wollman also leads the New York chapter of the Angel Group Leaders initiative, which convenes the region's leading angel investors.

"Sandy brings a peerless business acumen and investor's instinct, to 'Break Through The Crowd,'" says Loehr, co-founder and partner, Westchester Angels. "Our team has found that working with startups is extremely rewarding. Perhaps, the most challenging aspect is in identifying companies that are innovative, disruptive and have the tenacity to succeed."

"Sandy's participation in 'Break Through The Crowd' is proof positive that Westchester Angels – and Westchester itself – is onto something big," says Wieser, co-founder and partner, Westchester Angels. "The County is incubating some of the savviest entrepreneurs and start-ups around, and the world is taking notice."

"Break Through The Crowd" airs in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean, and is Zee TV Americas' first-ever production of a business reality show to air exclusively on its network.
