Member Participation
You will be able to impact our portfolio companies directly, contribute to deal discussions and due diligence efforts, and connect with accelerators/incubators, other angel groups, university programs, and more.
While there are no formal participation requirements for membership in the group, our members learn more from doing than anything else. As such, we strongly encourage members to come to monthly meetings, engage in discussions, and attend at least one screening and/or executive committee meeting to see how the process of identifying, evaluating, and ultimately investing in companies works. Essentially – dive in and follow a deal.
