Investment thesis

COREangels aims to professionalize and globalize angel investing through a network of local angel funds operating under a single shared model. Angels invest collectively in a common portfolio and make investment decisions as a group to achieve diversification, while professional fund leaders handle due diligence, valuations, pre-selection, and reporting. Angel investors actively mentor portfolio founders, and each fund is supported by a full-time team of seasoned professionals. The firm emphasizes co-creating value alongside entrepreneurs from the initial investment stage, focusing on early-stage startups fueled by local trust and diversity across an expanding global community.
