About Us
Agile Angel Partners
Agile Angel Partners is an experienced group of business, marketing, consulting, and agile / lean experts who invest their time, assistance, and money in growth-oriented, start-up companies seeking seed capital.
What We Look for in Entrepreneurs
Passionate about their product or service
Deep expertise in their marketplace
Serial entrepreneurs
Have a build - measure - learn attitude when approaching their marketplace
Markets We Invest In
We have specific expertise in software and tend to favor opportunities that have at least some interesting software aspect to them. We also have very good knowledge in the life sciences and consider opportunities there as well.
We are not interested in investing in opportunities that require extensive funding and time to clear regulatory hurdles.
Where We Invest
We are located in New Hampshire. We will invest nationwide but have a preference for Northern New England.
Economic Matters
We are seed stage investors, so we don’t make seven-figure investments
We look for companies with the potential to exit within 3-5 years
Due to time constraints, we don’t currently play the role of lead investor, but we will expect you to have one at some point before we invest

We have worked for 11 startup companies, 6 of which were venture funded, 2 of which went public on NASDAQ (one in 1994, the other in 2000). We have raised over $155 million in funding for these companies, while employees of these companies
We have held executive-level positions as diverse as CEO, COO, VP of Engineering, VP of Product Management, VP of Professional Services, VP of Sales, and VP of Marketing
We apply agile and lean principles to how we invest and we apply those principles when assisting our portfolio companies
