Angel investing involves providing financial support to early-stage startups in exchange for equity ownership. Angel investors often fund companies in their infancy, providing not just money but also mentorship and industry expertise.
An angel investment syndicate is a group of investors who pool their resources to collectively invest in startups. Syndicates allow individual investors to diversify their portfolios by participating in multiple deals while leveraging the expertise of others in the network.
Interested investors can complete our Angel Investor Registration Form on the website and undergo a vetting process. We evaluate potential members based on investment experience, industry knowledge, and alignment with our mission.
We focus on high-growth sectors such as technology, fintech, healthtech, cleantech, and agritech, with a strong emphasis on startups operating in Alberta and across Canada.
Our investment committee follows a rigorous due diligence process that evaluates a startup’s team, product, market potential, financials, and scalability before presenting it to the syndicate.
Angel investing carries high risk but also high potential returns. While some startups may fail, successful investments can deliver substantial returns, typically realized through acquisitions or IPOs over 5-10 years.
Yes, it involves significant risk. There is no guarantee of returns, and investors should be prepared for the possibility of losing their capital. However, diversification within the syndicate can help mitigate individual risk.
Syndicate members can opt into deals they are interested in. Participation is not mandatory for every deal, giving investors flexibility to choose based on their preferences and risk tolerance.
Yes, members may be required to pay a one-time membership fee and/or management fees associated with deal administration. Details are outlined in the Investment Policy Statement.
When an investment opportunity is approved, members who have committed to the deal will receive a Capital Call Notice specifying the amount due, payment deadlines, and wiring instructions.
Angel investments are generally illiquid, meaning funds are locked in until a startup achieves an exit event, such as an acquisition or IPO. Early exits are rare and subject to specific terms.
We offer access to educational resources, networking events, and mentorship opportunities. Members also receive support in understanding deal structures and legal requirements.
Startup founders can apply for funding by completing our Startup Application Form on the website. Applications are reviewed by our investment committee for potential fit.
Post-investment, Nexis Ventures actively supports the startup’s growth through mentorship, connections, and ongoing oversight. Regular updates are shared with syndicate members.
