Rochester Angel Network

The Rochester Angel Network is a group of accredited investors interested in early-stage, high-growth investment opportunities in Upstate New York. Formed in 2005, RAN is one of the oldest and largest angel groups in New York. We currently have more than 60 members who invest through our funds as well as directly into startup companies. The Rochester Angel Network is encouraging applications from companies that are at an early stage and have highly scalable business models. Typical attributes of a company that would be of interest to the Rochester Angel Network include those with high-growth potential (e.g., tens of millions of dollars in revenue or more), a national or international customer base, a completed business plan, a reasonable exit strategy within ~4-7 years of investment (i.e., a merger/acquisition or IPO), and seeking investment typically in the $250K - $2M range. Note, however, that these represent typical attributes and are not hard and fast requirements.
