Upstart Angels is a network of 90+ Angel investors, primarily based in Otago and Southland, who seek high-growth investment opportunities, typically with global growth aspirations. Preference is given to projects from our own geographic area. Normally, the companies will be in the seed or start-up phase, and technology-based.

Upstart Angels is managed from the Upstart Business Incubator in Dunedin, and prefers deals in the $100,000 – 1,000,000 range. Members of the network assist with due diligence on companies, provide funds, and frequently take an active role either on Boards or by making their personal networks available. As well as administering the network, the entrepreneurs from Upstart Incubator provide a gate-keeping role to ensure that only high quality opportunities are offered, and prepare applicant companies for the due diligence process.
