about us

  Beltway Angels is a growing network of angel investors and family offices committed to growing the entrepreneurial startup scene in the DMV. 

  We are a diverse group of former and current executives, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals, looking to capitalize on our experience and expertise to mentor and guide founders from pitch to successful exit. We believe the DMV is one of the premiere innovation hubs in the country and are eager to apply our knowledge, connections, and capital towards mentoring growth-stage companies and helping them scale up quickly and sustainably. 

  The mission of Beltway Angels is to foster an inclusive and dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem in theDMV and serve as a catalyst for promising young companies striving to break into the market. We invest in a diverse range of companies from many different sectors, including fintech, consumer products, clean energy, and food distribution, among others. Our relationships with major universities and accelerators in the DMV provide us with both potential entrepreneurs and a wider network of expertise and finance from which to draw on.

How we Fund

Beltway Angels invests in promising startup companies raising from $100K – $1million, typically in the range of $200K-$500K for an average round. We meet monthly to review applications as a group, although funding rounds are generated on a deal-by-deal basis depending on the inflow of startup companies looking to partner with us. We are not a fund, our members make no commitment to invest, and we do not charge a carry or management fee to be part of Beltway Angels. To minimize the burden of managing investments, Beltway Angels creates a sole-purpose LLC as an investment vehicle to gather funds from members and write a check as a single entity.
