  Angel Investor Network Backing Software  Entrepreneurs Connected to the South

learn more
The South graduates world-class educated entrepreneurs, but there is a shortage of early stage and value-add venture capital for these entrepreneurs. We believe graduates of Duke, Vanderbilt, UNC, N.C. State, Georgia Tech, University of Virginia, Wake Forest, Clemson, Virginia Tech, and other leading Southern universities are just as talented and investable as graduates from the Ivy League or other top schools.

Our investment strategy is simple. First, we invest in entrepreneurs that are graduates from the top universities in the South, not just alumni from one school, and not just operating in one location. This allows us to access more quality investment opportunities and more interesting connections. Second, we stay focused on what we understand - software companies. Third, we can roll-up our sleeves and tap our national connections to help our portfolio companies succeed. Fourth, we are careful about investment valuations and like to invest when companies are starting to generate revenues, but have not scaled yet.

Southern Connection Angel Network

Our Angel Network includes accredited investors and advisors with alumni connections to the top undergraduate and graduate universities in the South. We provide our Angel Network with the opportunity to hand-select professionally-managed early-stage venture investments and advisory roles. Our Angel Network includes successful entrepreneurs as well as early, mid, and late-career business professionals that want to access and support high quality early stage investments.

 We form investment syndicates for each of our investments, so we do not require an annual or multiyear commitment from our investors. This allows Accredited Investors to participate in individual investments that appeal to them, and they can write small or large checks, and they can provide support for those investments where their industry connections or expertise may add value to the portfolio company.

The South is an underserved, fast growing technology market with a great pool of entrepreneurial talent, top tier universities, a shortage of venture capital and attractive investment valuations.
