Monadnock Angel Investors

Private seed capital investing is the primary source of seed and start-up funding for emerging high growth ventures. Estimates suggest that the demand for patient, high risk oriented private equity capital is more than twice as large as the current available pool of venture capital funds. The Monadnock Angel Investors Group, supported by the New Hampshire Small Business Development Center and the Hannah Grimes Center, will be a source of that patient capital for the region’s businesses and a place for area private investors to identify quality investment opportunities.
