Band of Angels India is a group of successful entrepreneurs and executives with a passion to invest in early stage businesses. The founding belief of this group is that early stage businesses need more than just money to succeed — they need mentoring on diverse areas such as strategy, finance, go-to-market etc. Band of Angels India attempts to fill this chasm.
The application process to BoA involves sending in an executive summary to any of the members (yes, investors themselves take decisions here, there are no “investment managers”) and convince them that what you have is a potentially successful business. The member than “sponsors” the proposal to the whole group. Members in the group make individual decisions on whether to invest in any particular opportunity — for example, 4 members may decide to fund a given venture. The members continue to be involved in the mentoring process.
Typical deal size at BoA is less than Rs 2 crores. We expect higher investments to be supported by other venture capital players. BoA is diversified in its industry coverage — we will invest in any industry where we have members (and hence an understanding of that space). We look at deals from across the country. Some coverage on us. You may mail in your proposals to any of the members directly.

Hi,
Advertising is one of the best profession that I have realised in the heat of being part of it for the past 6 years. Yes, the aim is to get to the top but work simultaneously on personal professional growth, which is why I got dragged into your website. Currently working with Percept Gulf in Dubai, the effort is to build the equity and then have partial funding to set up my own.
My business model is just about set. 27 now, hope i can implement it before 30. Any survivors..??
We have an idea that intersects media, advertising, retail and shopping. We have begun writing our business plan. We are looking for a mentor to help us.
Anyone out there ? Hello !!!
Hello,
I am not a potential entrepreneur, and have nothing to do with it. But as i was doing a class presentation on angel investors, i came acroos this site. And found the idea behind “band of angels” is very appealing .
Thank you,

It appears like people behind “Band of Angels” are also associated with “TiE” and “IVCA”.
