Regional Angel Investor Network

The Regional Angel Investor Network (RAIN) is focused on building and supporting the growth of an effective angel and early-stage funding ecosystem across regional areas of Australia. Angel investment is the most significant source of equity for startup businesses seeking to start, build and scale their early business ideas and is a fundamental first link in the venture supply chain. Many successful high-growth companies in Australia started with angel backing. At the Regional Angel Investor Network, we are committed to unlocking the entrepreneurial spirit of Australians who live and work in our regions. By connecting regional startups with angel investors, we aim to create a thriving network that supports the next generation of startups. Our mission is to bring together a community of like-minded individuals who are dedicated to supporting and fostering the growth of regional startups across Australia. We are passionate about connecting angel investors with the most promising entrepreneurs and startups, providing them with the resources and support they need to succeed and drive innovation, job and wealth creation in regional areas. Startups to pitch will generally be early-stage, regionally based, cross-industry business startups looking to raise less than $1 million in funding and with a valuation of less than $6 million.
