Angel Investors Ontario
Angel Investors Ontario convenes Ontario’s Angel investors, who provide capital and mentorship to innovative start-ups province-wide. Angel Investors Ontario supports 16 non-profit Angel Groups and 14 investment clubs across the province. Angel Investors Ontario fosters Angel groups’ success by sharing information and education tools, transferring best practices across the network. Over the past decade, through the groups and clubs that it mobilizes and supports, Angel Investors Ontario has enabled over $700 million dollars to be invested into over 800 high-potential early-stage ventures, in turn creating and retaining over 15,000 jobs. Since its inception, Angel Investors Ontario has built a robust network of over 1500 investors across the province. While the network continues to stand behind its original task of creating and growing non-profit Angel investor groups for all regions of Ontario, it has since expanded upon this to include establishing new ways to convene Angels province-wide, with special investment events and Virtual programs, making it easier for Angels to syndicate deals. This increased efficiency of deal flow directly contributes to the network’s mission: To grow Ontario’s Angel investing ecosystem to build prosperity, create jobs and strengthen communities.
