New to Angel Investing
FAN provides an opportunity for new angel investors to learn and mentor with other FAN members that are experienced and knowledgeable
Deal Flow
The higher number of deals you get to look at – the better chance of finding one you like. FAN screens an average of 80 – 100 opportunities annually so we can select from the best.
Opportunity Review
The best-qualified, pre-screened opportunities Atlantic Canada has to offer are put through a disciplined review process. Company documents, market information and team are analyzed and a summarized due diligence package is provided to members, helping to streamline the investment process and make it easy and straightforward.
Increased Capital/Diversification
By gathering a large group of investors, FAN enables companies to raise larger amounts of capital at the angel round, while also allowing members to practice a portfolio strategy and diversify their investments.
Great Valuation and Deal Terms
By offering a significant pool of capital and connections via an efficient process and clean deal structure, FAN is able to negotiate more attractive terms and valuation on behalf of the members.
Networking
Events are for members and guests only, so you will have the opportunity to network and meet other like-minded people.
