About Chicago ArchAngels

The Chicago ArchAngels is a preferred provider of risk capital for early stage and seed stage companies in the Midwest and around the country. We accept companies through a referral process within our network, and we cover a wide range of industries. Past presenters have included innovative start ups in medical devices, health care, health care information technology, digital technology, manufacturing, green technology, clean energy, financial services, education, consumer products and other industries.

Our focus is on innovative companies that we expect to achieve technological proof of concept and customer validation with planned market domination. Ideally, companies are seeking between $500,000 and $3 million in their current round.

Chicago ArchAngels members add value with their business and entrepreneurial experience. Most members have national or international business experience. The Chicago ArchAngels also collaborates with many other angel groups, accelerators, and incubators for referrals and reviews.

At regular monthly meetings, members hear presentations from three companies, most of which have global potential.

We are currently accepting applications for associate membership from international students and graduates who would like to learn more about angel investing. Inquiries can be submitted through our Contacts page.

The Chicago ArchAngels is an affiliate of the Washington DC ArchAngels, and it started operations in February 2012.
