number of companies presenting should be limited to one or two, introduced by someone who is willing to sponsor or lead the investment and due diligence process

Selection Criteria

• Select the very best in seed and early stage• Seed investment amounts should be from $250k to

$500K and early stage investments should be from $350k to $1,500K

• Deal flow of members – both group investments and private or small group investments should be tracked and reported on, with clear communication on which investments went through MLA’s group due diligence

Selection Criteria


18

• Due diligence time: More hours of due diligence positively related to greater returns

• Experience: An angel investor's expertise in the industry of the venture being invested

• Participation: Angel Investors that interacted with their portfolio companies at least a couple of times per month mentoring, coaching, providing leads and monitoring performance experienced greater returns.
