More Alex Bernstein is the Managing Director of North Angels and is a Founder/Managing Partner at North Venture Partners, LLC.
Since I stopped living the life of an NFL superstar *, and started to use my head for more than a battering ram, I've spent the last 9 years working as a senior executive, board member, entrepreneur, and investor at the intersection of new technologies and digital media surrounded by genius technologists from MIT, a billionaire entrepreneur, and a rock star team of branding and marketing gurus.
I'm currently part of an amazing team at North where we work with smart investors, and entrepreneurs to find, filter, and fund innovative new ventures.
North's secret sauce is called the Venture 360 Report, which is a human and data driven due diligence process that helps investors determine whether or not a venture warrants investment, and if it does, how to give that venture the best possible chances at success.
Please contact me if you would like to review a sample report, talk to investors who leverage our reports, or speak with an entrepreneur who has been through our report process.

* Truthfully, I was a NFL league minimum earning, tiny division III college undrafted free agent, a perennial 6' 3" 340 pound long shot academic All-American, who was traded twice, released 5 times by four teams over 4 seasons, and who was once affectionately referred to by a Pro-Bowl teammate as just another "all-effort no-talent player", which may be why my John Madden NFL '99 video game rating was only a 63. In my defense, he (Madden) rides in a giant bus everywhere because of an irrational fear of flying, so I don't think anyone should take anything he says too seriously.
