To call our Angel Fund program hands-on is an understatement: students are embedded as active investing members in Angel investment groups throughout the Pacific Northwest, California, Park City, and Denver evaluating deal flow, performing due diligence, and making investment decisions. We also work on cutting edge research in the fields of angel investing, venture investing, entrepreneurship, and economic development.Each of us does the research. Each of us sits side-by-side with executives, business leaders, and investors as full members in regional angel groups and at angel conferences. And collectively, we all work together to analyze hundreds of potential investment opportunities. And we invest real dollars towards actual early-stage companies.The Willamette Angel Fund is run I conjunction with an elective class in the Atkinson Graduate School of Management called Venture Investing. The class is one to which you must apply and be selected in order to join.
