Entrepreneurs
Angel groups provide entrepreneurs access to a wider set of potential investors, as well as a structured process that allows a relatively quick and efficient investment decision. Angel investing represents a large and growing portion of the early stage capital available to startup companies. If you are new to Angel investing, we encourage you to read Angel Investing 101 and Considering Valuation.
Is an Angel Investment right for me?
It is important that you understand who we are, how we operate, what we look for in potential investments, and what we expect in return.
Angels typically invest between $25,000 and $100,000 per transaction individually, and from $250,000 to $750,000 as a group. They invest in one to four transactions per year. On average, angels are patient, with an average term for holding an investment of eight years. For the risk and added value they provide, angels seek returns of at least ten times their investment.
We receive hundreds of business plan submissions monthly. Our funding process involves a thorough screening process where approximately three companies per month are selected to present to our members for funding consideration.
What we’re looking for
We evaluate companies based on their management team, market opportunity, and growth potential, as well as other factors. To stand out from the rest of the crowd, make sure that you meet our investment criteria and that you are fully prepared with a polished business plan and presentation.
