Flyer Angels

Our team deploys $25,000-$50,000 checks to promising companies that align with our values and mission. In addition to investment, we aim to build relationships with our portfolio companies to provide student support, VC connections and networking opportunities.

Flyer Angels invests in nascent (typically pre-revenue) ventures, considered to be knowledge-intensive/high tech, and either based in Ohio or otherwise has a connection to UD (e.g. alumni). They may invest in either seed rounds, "A" rounds, or may also make follow-on investments.

Student analysts handle deals through every step of the investment process: screening pitches, conducting due diligence and analyzing investment opportunities. The team works directly with founders, alongside other investors, to complete diligence reports concerning companies of interest. If the team decides to move forward with an investment, an investment memo is drafted and the investment is presented to the Investment Review Committee for review.

While we invest across a variety of industries, these factors help to provide direction for our investments.

• Innovative Technical Leadership: Visionary founders with strong technical expertise who lead with creativity and strategic insight.
• Disruptive Technology: Groundbreaking technologies that challenge the status quo, transform industries, drive significant change, and redefine the future.
• Purposeful Vision: Clear, mission-driven vision that goes beyond profit, creating meaningful impact and lasting change across industry and community.
