Investment thesis
IrishAngels is a Notre Dame alumni angel network founded in 2012 that invests at the pre-seed and seed stages in U.S.-based companies. It looks for founders showing early signal such as real customers, early revenue, roughly $40k MRR or $1M TTM revenue, 20%+ month-over-month growth, and strong retention, typically joining rounds of $1M-$4M where a lead investor is already in place. Average checks run $250k-$350k. A Notre Dame connection is not required for funded companies. Beyond capital, its 200+ member investor network of operators and executives actively connects portfolio companies to customers, strategic partners, and co-investors. It is most active in fintech, digital health, B2B SaaS, consumer, supply chain and logistics, AI and analytics, proptech, and sustainability.
