Investment thesis
Charlotte Angel Fund invests in early-stage companies across North Carolina and adjacent states, favoring businesses led by strong management teams pursuing compelling opportunities in large markets. Its members are generally residents of or connected to the Charlotte area who want to invest at an early stage. The funds are structured as member-managed groups in which the membership collectively makes investment decisions; beyond the capital committed by the fund, individual members may invest additional capital on a deal-by-deal basis according to their own preferences. The group made its first investment in December 2014 and has since launched successive vehicles, with Charlotte Angel Fund III introduced in March 2022.
