Membership
Membership in GAN includes the following:Investment events – Invitation to GAN investment meetings, either breakfast or lunch the same day in one of two locations (given the distances between communities comprising the catchment area).
Deal-flow – Opportunity to invest in up to 20 quality pre-screened deals each year
Angelsoft – Access to Angelsoft, the on-line repository for investee company information and due diligence materials
Education – Opportunity to learn more about angel investing as well as outside speakers who will be brought in periodically
Networking – Interact with other angel investors, as well as other strategic contacts from within the early stage company ecosystem.
The success of any group is measured by the active participation of our members. To that end, our guidelines for membership are:
Annual Investment guideline – $25,000 minimum each year
Events – Attendance at Investment breakfasts / events
Due diligence – Participation in due diligence sessions, including use of your own personal networks for relevant expertise and contacts
Deal flow – Referral of high calibre companies for presentation to our membership (we expect that many strong opportunities will be referrals from within the group, or from strategic partners of the group).
Membership - Introduction of new members where appropriate, the group builds its strength from numbers
Membership is generally open only to accredited investors. Membership fees for individual angels are $575 (+HST) for 2011.
