Investment Process
AIF evaluates every opportunity through the systematic process described below:
- Screening. Interested companies provide a brief Executive Summary (3-5 pages), which is reviewed by the management of AIF.
- Exploratory Contact. Those reaching favorable consensus are invited to provide additional detailed information through a complete business plan and subsequently an in-person meeting.
- Presentation. Typically, two companies are selected from dozens to present to angel members at each regular meeting. The meetings are for members only.
- Due Diligence. Opportunities for members indicating a significant level of interest to enter the AIF due diligence process. Management of AIF will assist in this process with standardized documentation, targeted attorneys, accountants and industry contacts.
- Monitoring. Post-investment, performance of funded companies is monitored centrally.
