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.
