Recon Expert and Partner

Steve Edel


Steve Edel became an entrepreneur in his mid 20s after working for companies of all sizes in the information technology field. Steve's first business was a successful IT business. Soon to follow was an INC 500 awarded website marketing company that Steve began with one employee. It is also this marketing expertise that makes it frankly ‘easier’ to find the right information online. Steve's most recent success was starting another business in 2013 that was again INC 500 awarded, ranking #142. This business involved owning manufactured housing communities, and from that venture, the biggest industry shortcoming became very apparent – the need for Due Diligence! Steve still owns this business but has moved on to focusing on what he is passionate about and has FUN doing – Due Diligence Partners Away!

Angie Smith

Digital and Field Expert Data Miner and Consultant

Angie Smith


Angie can be found asking questions, crunching the numbers, and listening and talking in equal measure (hopefully). These skills have led her through diverse fields and across the work spectrum, often in roles in which the relationships forged between people were crucial to the venture’s success. She delights in seeing the big picture whilst keeping an eye on the details and a myriad of moving parts. She doesn’t like Pina Coladas (a margarita is preferable) but she does like walking in the rain. She is a recovering perfectionist.
