COREangels is a global brand of hands-on angels, investing in early stage startups through local portfolio funds. Our funds invest in a portfolio selected by the angels from a pool of startups curated by the leaders.
Our angels are doing an incredible job of contributing to their local communities by, not only investing their money in the next generation of entrepreneurs, but also mentoring them, with their experience and network.
COREangel funds are co-investing cross borders, sharing good practices, tools and opportunities using one proven model that merges financial outcomes with angel involvement.
The leaders of each fund use their field knowledge and shared data in the network to determine which startups have the most investment potential. You watch their pitches in the monthly investment committees and vote with other angels in your group to build a portfolio overtime.
You can drive the success of the portfolio by mentoring each startup, having control and ownership of your portfolio and its value.
The leaders of your fund conduct due diligence, valuations, negotiations and reporting so you can enjoy the exciting side of angel investing.
You get to work with experienced angels in your group and unique entrepreneurs of startups in the portfolio. The leaders will facilitate the exits of successful startups.
You receive profits with every successful exit.
You have the option to seek to sell your shares on our secondary market.

Can I invest in a startup if it is not approved in the investment committee?
You can choose to invest in that startup individually, if the founders accept your investment. Most of our pre-selected startups choose COREangels because of our global community and the smart money provided by a group of angel investors and the diversity of expertise in the group.
Who decides which startup I invest in after the pitch?
You and your fellow group members.
You vote: Yes, No or Maybe for each startup that comes to the investment committee. We have a 1-investor, 1-vote policy so regardless of your investment ticket size in the group, you will always have equal voting rights. The leaders count the votes and if the startup gets a majority Yes, the group invests in that startup.
How is an investment committee different from a pitch day/demo day?
A demo day is a day where usually more than 10 startups are invited. On big Demo days, you might have 60 founders pitching their ideas.
In an Investment Committee, you are going to see pitches of no more than 3 startups that have already passed a screening process and primary due diligence. Your fund leaders have already done the valuations and the deal is negotiated ahead of time.
What is an investment committee?
Once you join a COREangels fund, there are going to be recurring demo days or pitch sessions of each angel fund where investors of the group listen to 2 or 3 startups that are pre-selected by the fund leaders. You get to ask questions during and after each Investment Committee and vote.
