Corporate angels are motivated to join our network by the desire to support social and environmental impact and to advance their CSR commitments.  Corporate angels have the same opportunities to participate in the network as are provided to our individual angel investors, including having the opportunity to invest in companies that have been vetted by out angels.

Differences between a Corporate Angels and a Sponsorship

Corporate Angels often are motivated by the desire to meet Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) objectives.  With the mutual consent of companies, Corporate Angels can invest in or establish strategic business relationships with any of the companies who apply to our network. Toward that end, Corporate Angels have the same information rights as our angels and act much like angels investors.

Sponsors often have the goal of developing business for the Sponsor’s products or services. Toward that end, Sponsors are provided the opportunity to interact with angels and companies at our dinner pitch events. Sponsors do not invest in our companies although accredited individuals who work for the sponsor may choose to individually invest.
