| Application process | Newcomers to angel investing are directed first to a one-hour virtual open house where current members describe the experience.

A prospective member then requests an invitation through the investor forums page, or contacts the membership team directly, and receives a membership agreement on confirming SEC accredited investor status. | Prospective members apply to their nearest chapter rather than to the association. In Greater New York, HBS alumni use the chapter join or renew link, while graduates of other Harvard schools submit contact details through a form and wait about seven business days for staff to set up an account. In Northern California, applications run through a Gust page. Requirements and processing differ by chapter. |
