Our Services
Investors' Circle serves as a bridge between social entrepreneurs and our investor members, providing two main platforms for bringing the two sides together and fostering successful mission-driven investments:
1. ONLINE COMPANY DATABASE AND E-NEWSLETTERS
Investors' Circle hosts an online database of company summaries through Angelsoft. An application from a company that has been accepted into the Investors' Circle network will be "activated," or posted in this database. Our application fee is $150 dollars.
Investors' Circle sends monthly e-newsletters to
its membership announcing the new companies that have joined our database with a short description and logo.
These monthly announcements draw our members back to the site on a regular
basis. While the e-mail can be forwarded, only IC members will be able to
access the link to your complete company profile.
Interested investors may contact entrepreneurs directly when they wish to pursue a particular opportunity.
2. VENTURE FAIRS
Investors' Circle holds two venture
fairs each year as part of our spring and fall conferences. The venture fairs serve as our most productive avenues for deal flow. At these
events, we invite roughly 20 companies to make short
presentations to an exclusive audience of accredited investors. The conference program also includes ample networking time. Our Spring
Venture Fair takes place in San Francisco and our Fall Venture Fair takes place in Boston. Since 2005, roughly $30million has been invested into over 40 Investors' Circle Companies. Companies that are invited to present are asked to pay a $995 presentation fee.
A company that is accepted into the IC network, and included in our online database will also be considered for an upcoming venture fair presentation.
Entrepreneurs do not need to provide additional information to be
considered,
but may be contacted four to eight weeks before an event in an IC selection committee requires further information for their review. Roughly 10% of companies accepted into the network are chosen to present at a venture fair.
