How it
works
Once we target a company that we are interested in, we
first meet with the entrepreneurs and decide whether to
begin our first phase of diligence, which includes
everything from analyzing the startups’ TAM to its
technology’s applicability to a comparative analysis. We
leave no stone unturned. As the success of a startup can
be directly attributable to how a management team deals
with setbacks and commercialization issues, we work with
an outside business psychologist to assess the mental and
emotional fortitude of the entrepreneurs, through a
leadership assessment.
If the company makes it through this first phase, it is brought to our Investment Committee to determine whether to continue to the next phase, which includes deeper dives on the tech and market potential, channel checks and customer calls, reference checks on the entrepreneurs, and comps analysis. If, at this point, the team still wants to pursue, it is brought back to the Investment Committee again where every General Partner must vote in favor before the trigger is pulled.

If the Investment Committee unanimously approves, initial
ticket size ranges from $1-$2m. Our institutional fund has
priority, and the remaining amount is then offered on
co-investment platform to our investor base. Because we
have underwriting capability, we can ensure a timely
transfer of funds. Many of our entrepreneurs have friends
and family who wish to invest smaller amounts in their
company, we can facilitate this seamlessly.
At iAngels we form long-term partnerships with our
companies and support them as they grow. As such, an
investment from iAngels is not a “one-and-done”
relationship. We keep an open dialogue with our startups,
assist them with networking, marketing, fundraising and
any other business needs that may come up along the way.
We are builders, driven and audacious. Here to support,
challenge and help build and scale great tech companies.
We believe in going beyond, and we back those who do.
