One of the biggest questions we hear from angel investors is:
“Can I invest in industries I’ve never worked in?”
The short answer? Yes, you can! But here’s the catch—you shouldn’t do it alone.
Why Investing Alone Can Be Risky
Investing in a startup outside your industry can feel exciting, but it also comes with challenges. Without the right knowledge or network, it’s harder to:
- Support founders effectively – Every industry has unique challenges, and without experience, it’s difficult to offer the right guidance.
- Open doors to key partners – Your personal network may not include the right investors, clients, or mentors in that sector.
- Track progress & measure success – Understanding industry benchmarks and red flags is critical when monitoring your investment.
This is why investing in a community matters.
You can invest in industries you’ve never worked in—but only if you're not doing it alone.

The Power of Investing with a Community
At COREangels, we see the power of collective investing every single day. When angel investors come together, something special happens—insights are shared, networks expand, and investment decisions become stronger and smarter.
When you invest as part of a community of experienced angels, you gain:
- Access to diverse networks – Your fellow investors can introduce startups to key players and open doors you couldn’t on your own.
- Expertise in different industries – You can lean on investors who understand the industry inside out.
- Better decision-making – You don’t have to figure everything out alone—group discussions and shared insights lead to smarter choices.
If you're investing with a group, you can access their networks and rely on their expertise—this opens up new industries and opportunities.
