Angel HQ
Angel HQ is an angel investment club that helps give business wings.
Angel HQ helps bridge the gap between businesses' ability to fund their early growth on money from their own resources, and the point where the company has a track record that qualifies it for institutional finance from more traditional sources.
For investors, Angel HQ provides groomed and filtered access to exciting early opportunities. We also arrange club nights for networking and exchanging experiences with other members, social events and connection to the national angel industry.
