Large Capital Source - The Allied Angels is a group of investors who possess financial means and investment/business experience. Each member brings the ability and willingness to invest in promising private companies while understanding the inherent risk. By bringing these top regional investors together, entrepreneurs are able to save time by presenting to one group to raise capital rather than attempting to locate and present to individual angel investors.

Broad Pool of Knowledge & Contacts - Each member of the Allied Angels has extensive investment and/or operational business experience. This experience spans a number of industries. Entrepreneurs looking to gain access to key decision-makers and suppliers, customers, or partners are able to tap the knowledge and contacts of all members. This resource helps entrepreneurs accelerate the growth of their companies.

Efficient Process - The Allied Angels leverages a proven efficient process for entrepreneurs to raise capital from a large and diverse group of investors. The process begins by submitting a business summary online by clicking here. Applicants will usually be contacted within 3 weeks. If your plan meets Allied Angels’ preliminary investment criteria, you will be asked to provide more details. Upon review of this information, you may then be invited to present at a screening meeting with a small group of members from the Allied Angels. At this meeting, entrepreneurs present their business plan and the screening committee selects entrepreneurs for presentation at the regular monthly meeting of Allied Angels.

Efficient Structure - A long list of busy individual investors often does not permit swift action at critical moments such as closing a venture capital round or responding to an acquisition offer. The BlueTree Capital Group, the managing company for Allied Angels, facilitates receiving an entire group’s investment round from a single source in the form of a special-purpose LP entity - where members invest in the LP and the LP invests in the company. For an entrepreneur, this structure for working with angel investors maximizes the benefits (able to tap the knowledge and contacts of a large group of experienced investors) and minimizes the hassles (provides a single point of contact for interacting with a large group of busy investors). 

Capital Connections - BlueTree Capital Group is constantly expanding its network of investors, investor institutions, and corporate enterprises. By co-investing with regional, early-stage venture capital funds and other angel groups, BlueTree Capital Group helps entrepreneurs raise sufficient capital to demonstrate proof-of-concept. As the entrepreneurial venture achieves its milestones, BlueTree Capital Group may be a source for introductions to later-stage venture capital funds, corporate investors, and strategic partners to raise the next round of capital or attract an acquisition offer.
