HOW IT WORKS

​Denver Angels, is a private investment group, that invests in the next generation of great companies in Denver and across Colorado.

Overview

Our purpose is to create an ecosystem where individual investors can participate in some of the best opportunities in Colorado and great Colorado companies can receive local capital. We focus primarily on companies in the FinTech, Sports & Esports, and Consumer Products industry verticals.

​

​Our initial screening criteria is companies with over $200,000 in trailing twelve-month sales and steady month over month revenue growth.

​

​Members and Directors source companies across Colorado and choose 2 companies to invest in per quarter.

​

Chosen companies are introduced to the investor group through Investor Night, and the opportunity to invest is circulated to members.

​

How it Works for Companies

Denver Angels invests in Seed and “Seed +” rounds. Our group syndication size typically ranges from $100,000 to $400,000. 

Denver Angels is different from most angel groups. The directors, and a lead investor from the group will commit to the round before inviting the company to investor night and circulating the round with the rest of the group.

Getting a commitment from a Director or lead, is the equivalent of going on Shark Tank with Mark Cuban already backing the company. This method leads to 80%+ of the companies that are chosen to receive funding.

How it Works for Investors

To join the group, an investor must receive an invite from a member and be approved by a manager. If you’re an investor interested in investing in fast-growth Colorado companies, please contact us for more information or have another investor member refer you to one of the managers.

There are no fees to be a member. The requirements are that you have an active intent to invest, and can commit to basic responsiveness with your interest in investment syndications.

For investors that want to get more involved with sourcing, diligence, and post company support (including board seats), there are opportunities to be a "lead investor”. For more information contact one of the directors.

The group requires investor members to be accredited through the SEC definition. In good news, for non-accredited investors, the SEC has changed the definition of accreditation to allow non-accredited investors to test in as an accredited investor.

1.

Each quarter, investor members can choose to invest in one, all, or none of the companies circulated with the group.

2.

Units are $5,000, and investors can choose the total amount they invest based on their personal portfolio allocation. Investors over time with consistent allocation can build a great diversified portfolio.

3.

The group pools member investments into a Syndicate, and as a group typically invests between $100,000 to $400,000.

4.

As the investor base continues to grow the number of investments and the average group check will continue to increase.

Investor Nights

Investor Night is the connection event, through Zoom or in-person, between the entrepreneur and the investor members.

At these events, the companies get time to present their company to investors and it is followed by time for Investor Q&A.

Each quarter, the investor night is the third Tuesday of the first month of the quarter.

Investor members receive access to the Denver Angels platform where they can invest in the companies.
