The Ann Arbor Angels is a membership organization of Angel investors that invest in early-stage innovation based companies, with a primary focus in Southeast Michigan. A2A is not a fund. Our members collaborate on due diligence, but make individual investment decisions. Members recognize the inherent risks of early-stage investing. Ann Arbor Angel members are focused on investment returns, while often additionally motivated by a desire to give back to the community, to help build successful companies and to participate in the satisfaction that comes from this involvement.

Members of the Ann Arbor Angels are accredited investors who invest in companies primarily in Michigan. Broadly defined our members fall into four categories: Guardian Angels who bring both entrepreneurial and industry expertise. Entrepreneur Angels who have experience starting companies but come from different sectors. Operational Angels who bring industry experience and expertise, but from large, established companies, and lack first-hand experience with the travails of a startup. Financial Angels who typically invest purely for the financial return.
