The Angels
Institute facilitates unique, high-calibre networking and development
forums for angel investors and mentors involved in early-stage
investments.
Its mission is to promote best practice to reduce risk in early-stage
investments for the benefit of entrepreneurs, investors and the
community. A code of ethics and membership protocols are signed off by
all members.
Our members are drawn from private groups, including investors and
mentors who are interested in supporting and/or financing early-stage
ventures.
Our members have in common a strong desire, willingness, and capability
to support early-stage ventures.
Our environment is one where self help and comradery predominate and
where angels can develop confidence in their skills in early-stage
investment.
Early-stage investing today is analogous to the early days of the stock
market where railways and gold mining stocks attempted to attract
scarce investment dollars. Clever people made their fortunes during
these exiting times.
The Angels Institute provides an environment where investors can best
develop a clever approach to early-stage investment today.
