Investor Members

  • HBS Angels of Boston provides a forum for Harvard alumni to connect with, learn about, and invest in quality early-stage companies located predominantly in the Boston and New England area.
  • Our angel investor members are Harvard Business School and other Harvard University alumni who are interested in investing in these early stage companies on an individual basis.
  • Our members have extensive experience across industries and like to help strong entrepreneurs succeed. We assign an experienced mentor to each company in which we invest.
  • We are a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit, part of the HBS Association of Boston, and affiliated with HBS Angels chapters on 4 continents (hbsalumniangels.com).
  • The companies in which we invest do not need any Harvard affiliation.
