Corridor Angel Investors / ISA Ventures
About this Program
A network of Iowa accredited investors created by NewBoCo, sponsor of the Iowa Startup Accelerator. Visit our website for applications for funding or membership
Our Investment Focus
We are seeking opportunities to invest in companies across a wide variety of industries and lifecycle stages. Our investments can include early stage startups, such as those from Iowa Startup Accelerator, but are open to any Iowa-based companies, including those from other accelerator programs.
We focus primarily on industries where Iowa is well-known for its strength, most commonly education, finance, healthcare, aging, food, manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture, but will consider other industries or opportunities as well.
We focus on investment opportunities of up to $500k, though we can collaborate with other angel groups around the Midwest on larger opportunities, such as Plains Angels, Nebraska Angels, or Gopher Angels.
Members of Corridor Angel Investors may be invited to invest in companies in which ISA Ventures Fund LLLP, has invested. ISA Ventures uses a balanced approach to growing Iowa-based companies through multiple phases of their growth, including:
- Early stage startups: pre- or early-revenue companies just getting started
- Rapidly growing, young companies with demonstrable marketplace traction, scaling up
- Expansion and later stage companies of any age with plausible exit in view
