A Jumpstart angel must be an Accredited Investor* willing to make a minimum of one investment per year. Jumpstart meets monthly to hear presentations and to discuss deals. Not all angels come to every meeting.

* Accredited Investor Under Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D, Rule 501, is an investor wealthy enough to be exempt from registration requirements. Individuals or married couples must have a net worth of at least $1 million or annual income of at least $200,000 ($300,000 for couples) for each of the two most recent years and a reasonable expectation of the same income in the current year.

All Jumpstart angels pay annual dues and must contribute towards finding quality deals. In addition, angels are required to investigate the merits of a deal by meeting with entrepreneurs and conducting due diligence.

 
How much involvement? 

Most angels like to help the companies that they invest in. The level of involvement varies from one angel to another. Some angels like to get involved in the daily operations of the business. Others prefer to offer occasional advice as board members.
