INFORMATION FOR ENTREPRENEURS

Angel investors are high net worth individuals who invest in high risk, early stage ventures by reserving a portion of their total investment portfolios to provide emerging companies with capital through direct, private investments.  Their goals are to obtain higher returns than the typical public markets provide as well  as to help entrepreneurs.  Most angels contribute their time and experience to help the entrepreneurs with whom they have invested.

Approximately 50 Idaho angels have come together to form the Boise Angel Alliance.  Members of the Alliance along with a fund they have formed called the Boise Angel Fund are interested in investing in early stage, high growth potential Southwest Idaho companies.  If you would like for us to consider your firm for an investment, we strongly encourage you to first review the other information linked to this page, especially our investment criteria.

Please note we do not accept submissions from outside of Idaho.  If your company is not in Idaho, you may wish to visit the Angel Capital Association web site (www.angelcapitalassociation.org) for a list of groups  in your area.

Feel free to email fund administrator, Kevin Learned (kelearned@msn.com) prior to submitting your application.  He will be happy to discuss your business with you, give you an informal opinion of the likelihood of your business plan being considered by us, and offer suggestions as to how you might improve your plan before submission.

If after review you believe you meet our criteria and are interested in going through our process, then click on ”Submit a Business Plan.”
