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.

2008 Australian Business Angel Awards will be held Sept 2008.
