Capital for companies built to scale fast.
AIC's angel investment program funds pre-seed through Series-A-stage companies with equity capital, board-level support, and access to a wider investor network — on terms a founder can actually explain to their own team.
Four things we look for in every deal.
We're sector-agnostic, but every company we back shares these traits, regardless of stage.

| Seed | $250,000 – $1,000,000 | 6% – 12% | Priced equity round |
| Series A bridge | $500,000 – $2,000,000 | 3% – 6% | Convertible note or priced extension |
