Our Mission

An aspiring investor is always in search of good investment opportunities. The biggest problem an investor faces is how to judge between a good and bad investment. Angel Investors are faced with a two-fold challenge:

finding qualified investment opportunities to consider
learning the basics and growing their understanding of private equity investment

To this end, our mission is to create an environment where angel investors can come together

“ To collaborate, learn and prosper”

Angel Investors are the foundation for economic growth. Without Angel Investors to invest in the next great company before they are a great company, we run the risk of not having great companies continue to grow and expand our economy. We believe, by providing education and a productive environment for angel investors to collaborate, lean and prosper, we will all benefit

Goals:

           Energize local Investor Community

           Expand NBA&I into other markets

           Bring Value to our Membership

                Create a culture where members can collaborate, learn and prosper
