About Auburn Angel Network
AAN is a group of proven business leaders interested in investing in high-growth, early-stage companies. We believe we contribute more than money to the companies we fund and welcome the opportunity to work with entrepreneurs who are open to taking advice, yet have the smarts and determination to make their company successful. We view ourselves as true partners with shared goals and visions. Our focus is on early-stage companies, usually looking to raise $100K to $1M. We do have the ability to fund larger deals (up to a $3M raise) via syndication or co-investment with other angel groups. The company should be close to the commercialization stage and have a clear and defensible competitive advantage. AAN does not invest as a fund-each of our members makes his or her individual investment decision-but we collaborate in due diligence. We are open to any opportunities that can make a strong business case and can take the position of a lead investor.
