North Bay Angels

About North Bay Angels

The North Bay Angels (NBA) is the oldest and largest angel investment group north of the Golden Gate. The NBA is organized to operate as a voluntary and non-profit group for its "Angel Investor" members. We provide a forum for members to meet entrepreneurs seeking help for their companies. The NBA does not provide investment advice, recommendations, or guidance to its investor/members with respect to the company/entrepreneurs. Once a company has presented its business plan at a meeting, the members who have an interest in exploring investment and mentoring opportunities with that company will do so individually and privately with the company. The NBA's ideal investment is a start-up company that: ▪ Has a unique and protectable advantage in its market and addresses a critical need. ▪ Is beyond the concept stage and has at least a functioning prototype of its product or business proposition. ▪ Has demonstrated a need for and acceptability of its product, service, or technology in the marketplace. ▪ Has modest total capital needs to execute the business plan successfully, to avoid excessive dilution to Angel investors. ▪ Has at least the beginning of a management team and board should be in place.
