Alliance of Angels membership requirements

Every criterion Alliance of Angels publishes, with its source, the date it was verified and how confident we are in it, plus superseded figures, so you can see how the tests have moved.

Read a requirement as the organization's published floor, not as a promise. A revenue test may have alternative versions for different business types, chapters can set stricter local tests, and invitation-only bodies publish criteria that describe members rather than admit them.

Typical member

Members are accredited investors under Regulation D who must also have enough financial and business knowledge to evaluate the merits and risks of the investments presented. The group says it selects for diverse industry and professional credentials and for willingness to do diligence, mentoring and outreach rather than only writing cheques.
