Introduction

Thank you for visiting the Alliance of Angels (AoA). The AoA, a program of the Technology Alliance, is regionally-focused group of over 100 individual investors and representatives of investment corporations in the Pacific Northwest. Our organization acts as a "matchmaker" for young technology companies and interested investors, and provides in-depth coaching to qualifying companies who submit an application. Your company must meet certain investment criteria to be considered for the AoA review process. Please review this information carefully prior to submitting an executive summary of your business plan as companies which do not meet our criteria will not be considered.

It is our experience that companies who approach investors can help themselves by ensuring that their proposals are clearly written and thoughtfully constructed. Be sure that you have considered the following when presenting your business plan:

  • Capital requirements
  • Competition
  • Corporate structure
  • Critical success factors
  • Exit strategy
  • Management team
  • Marketing plan
  • Pricing and revenue model
  • Valuation

When presenting your company to the AoA, please refer to our presentation guidelines as a starting point. Additionally, when negotiating investment terms, you may find it helpful to refer to our basic term sheet (Word document).

If you meet our investment criteria and are ready, SUBMIT an executive summary of your business plan today!
