Can institutional investors become members of OCAN?
Yes. Institutional Investment firms are welcome to participate in OCAN so long as the appropriate agreements are signed and the annual fee is submitted. One representative from your organization may participate in each of the scheduled dinner meetings. Institutional investors may register as such on the OCAN website.
How can OCAN help me as an investor in early stage entrepreneurial ventures?
Your time is limited and very valuable. Our Committee performs the work of reviewing business opportunities and providing feedback to the members of the Angel Network. Angel investors receive the following benefits:
a.
Anonymity and strict protection of their privacy.
b.
Pre-screened access to potential investment opportunities.
c.
Access on the website to current and future opportunities for angel investment.
d.
Regularly scheduled dinner meetings with their peers at which pre-screened companies are allotted 20 minutes to present their funding proposals.
What Level of Investment are these businesses seeking?
Entrepreneurs presenting to the Angel Network will be seeking a minimum of $100,000 in funding. There is no set maximum, but as a practical matter the highest level of funding sought would be in the range of $1,000,000.
As a participating angel, am I required to invest a minimum amount of money?
No. The only requirement is that you are willing to give serious consideration to investing a minimum of $ 25,000 in viable businesses. The determination as to which businesses to invest in, is yours.
