Investment Criteria
The Alliance of Angels (AoA) receives member-referred as well as unreferred business plans daily. To be considered by the AoA, prospective companies must meet the following criteria:
- The company must be currently headquartered in the Pacific Northwest*.
- The company must be in the "early stage" of growth.
- The company must be a technology or "high-growth" company.
If your company fits these criteria, you may submit an executive summary of your business plan via an online form. We charge a nominal $95 submission fee at the time of your application and your executive summary will appear in a password-protected area of our website for review by our members for 120 days from the date of submission. Some companies will be selected for further review and will be contacted by one of our Program Managers for more details about your company. We will NOT charge additional fees for further review or for presentation to our members, although we do ask companies presenting at our luncheons to cover the cost of their lunches, which is $30 per person for up to 4 company representatives. Companies must meet the above-mentioned criteria to be posted online and considered for review.
* States which meet our Pacific Northwest criteria include: Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Montana, Idaho and lower British Columbia.
