Maine Angels helps entrepreneurs by investing in and mentoring early stage companies. Our goal is to make sound investments in promising New England entrepreneurs with an emphasis on Maine businesses.
Members from diverse business backgrounds collaborate to share the process of vetting, investing and advising. While bound by mutual interests we invest individually.
Our own diversity, and that of the Maine economy, means our investments span many industries. Over ten years and 42 companies in our portfolio of investments, our choices have included both pre-revenue and early revenue companies. Investments have ranged from $35K to $710K as a group, usually as part of a larger financing along with other investors with whom we partner.
We are selective both in our investments and our choice of partners, and are actively seeking both new investments and new members. We look forward to learning more about you.
