The Bellingham Angels are a group of accredited investors dedicated to providing equity capital to early and mid-stage entrepreneurial companies. Our primary focus
is on companies based in the Pacific Northwest, with emphasis on those companies located in the Whatcom, Skagit and Island Counties of Washington State.
About Us:
Our members are independent business owners and senior corporate executives experienced in financing and developing emerging enterprises. Members have a range of business, industry, and investing experience, but share the desire to engage in the high-risk, high-return potential practice of "angel investing." We mentor and coach the entrepreneurs in whom we invest, sometimes serve on their boards, provide contacts and assist with team building, strategic planning and fundraising.
The Bellingham Angels also work closely with other angel groups throughout the Pacific Northwest as well as regional groups like the Washington Technology Center Angel Network. We also have strong ties to local government, academic and business organizations in the community - see Resources page.
The Bellingham Angel Group is a member of the Angel Capital Association. The Angel Capital Association is North America's professional alliance of angel groups. This association brings together the 200 angel organizations in the United States and Canada to share best practices, network, and help develop data about the field of angel investing.
The Bellingham Angels is an exclusive group of private equity investors looking for strong local companies that can generate outstanding investment returns. We review and screen company business plans on a regular basis and select three to four companies to make a 15-minute presentation to our members during our scheduled bi-monthly member meetings. The angels may collaborate on due diligence, but make individual investment decisions; we do not have a fund and do not necessarily invest as a group.
