This Guide to Angel Investing Organizations is a detailed listing of more than 225 angel investor groups throughout the United States and Canada – as well as several international organizations. Although this guide is substantial, it does not purport to be fully comprehensive. Some of the information herein may be incorrect, and there may be Angel Organizations not listed in this guide. I have not included SuperAngels or the various accelerator/incubator programs in this list by intent.
The organizations are categorized by state (with every state but West Virginia represented), as well as National, Canada and Other International sections. The listings note the name of the organization, location, and website (which will allow you to obtain contact information in most cases). In many cases, notes about investment criteria are provided, to speed your evaluation of appropriate angel networks.
Be sure to review angel organizations with a regional perspective in mind. Many angel networks are listed in one state, but invest across a spectrum that bridges state lines.
If you know of an Angel Organization not listed here, please don’t hesitate to contact me or provide such information in the comments.
Good Luck!
