NJIT Highlanders Angel Network INC.
About this Program
NJITHANs primary mission is investing in NJIT-affiliated startups and supporting NJs broader technology ecosystem with seed funding and early-stage investments.
Our Investment Focus
NJITHAN strategically invests in promising early-stage ventures connected to NJIT and in the NJ/NY/PA Tri-State Area. As a group, the network typically provides $100k-$250k+ in funding through preferred securities, with individual member contributions ranging from $25k to $75k+. The network's focus is broad, with particular interest in fintech, AI, and healthcare, but does not include life sciences.
Founders should provide an executive summary, pitch deck, and financial summary with their applications here on Gust.com, as well as to NJITHAN@gmail.com.
NJITHAN invests funds to be used in the growth and development of the venture's manufacturing and/or service delivery capabilities or in enhancing marketing and sales capasities.
Additionally, this network tends to avoid yet-to-be-approved products in highly regulated industries (e.g., medical devices, drug development, or nutraceuticals) that might pose a risk to life (e.g., baby toys) or those that cannot easily be scaled (e.g., professional services).
