San Joaquin Angels

San Joaquin Angels hosts five or six private dinners each year featuring presentations from early-stage companies seeking investment. Individual angel investors decide whether they are interested in investing in any of these companies. Investors interested in a particular company work together, with assistance from a network of resources, to perform due diligence, structure the deal, and monitor their investment. Generally, the minimum an individual San Joaquin Angel invests in a company is $25,000 to avoid the difficulty of monitoring many smaller investments. While no up-front commitment of investment funds is required of San Joaquin Angels, there is an expectation, or a “soft pledge,” to invest a minimum of $25,000 into promising growth ventures over the course of several years. San Joaquin Angels investors are assessed an annual membership fee of $500 which includes the $75 per dinner cost of the bi-monthly investor dinners.
