  • invest directly in startup companies (not a fund)

  • affiliate and maintain strong ties with other investment groups throughout New England and the U.S.

  • are often a company’s first experienced investor

  • typically serve as advisers and/or directors of companies in which they invest

  • are founding members of Angel Capital Association
