UNH Rines Angel Fund

The Rines Angel Fund was founded in 2015 to provide a bridge between the next generation of angel investors and the New England venture community. We are a seed-stage venture fund helping students back exceptional New England entrepreneurs. Early-stage companies are invited to pitch to the Fund for seed capital along with high-quality due diligence regardless of investment. Student associates are versed in angel and venture capital investment strategies through a balance of angel investing research conducted at the Center for Venture Research and deal flow generated from actual companies seeking seed funding. The Fund was established thanks to a contribution made by UNH Emeritus S. Melvin "Mel" Rines '47.
