Investment Criteria

CV Angel Network investors are looking for innovative, start-up companies that have developed new products or services with significant revenue potential.  Specifically, we are looking for companies that are:

Innovative.  We seek companies that offer the marketplace something "new"--from revolutionary to evolutionary.  However, an important evaluation criteria to this innovation is: 

  1. Is there a marketplace need for this innovation? and,
  2. Is this marketplace need of sufficient potential size to grow a multi-million dollar business?

Technology-driven.  We seek companies that utilize a proprietary technology to sell its products or services--because technological differentiation is usually required for most start-up companies to succeed.  Proprietary technology can include an innovative approach to an emerging technology change, if such an approach presents a "first mover" advantage and a reasonable level of defensibility.

Start-ups.  We seek companies that are young, having possibly developed an innovative product or service.  As angel investors, our members are looking to help a start-up grow to the next level.  CV Angel Network's members generally are interested in business opportunities where investment capital and business advice can make a real difference to a company's success.

Business areas of particular interest to CV Angel Network members include: 

  • medical devices/health care/biotech
  • advertising/media products and services
  • consumer/technological products
  • energy/environmental products and services
  • wholesale/retail operations that are capable of scaling up to a national businesses

However, our members come from a broad base of industries, so any truly innovative business concept or product may generate investment interest from a CV Angel Network member.
