• Economic power inherent in group investing, larger deal sizes; possible deal syndications
• Present pre-qualified opportunities to angel investors (deal screening)
• Group evaluation of opportunities provides checks & balances
• New angels learn from experienced angels; divide the investment process workload
• Join a group, learn from others; broad experience base; synergistic investing ($$$ and knowledge)
• Better valuation due to better knowledge
• Spread investment process costs
 
Non-Financial
• Varying roles by investment:  board member vs. lead investor vs. passive investor
• Networking/social, like-minded investors & entrepreneurs
• Ability to refer entrepreneurs to the group
• Pick & choose your deals; diversify angels’ investment portfolios
