Angel Investor Groups in New England

Angel investors in New York, New England (New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine) and the Eastern seaboard (Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and Washington D.C.) tend to invest nearby. 

 

Fortunately for local startups, these angles find it very expensive to travel to Seattle to oversee their investment. 

Check the web sites of each group carefully before submitting a proposal.  Some are looking in particular industries, some are more general; some focus on startups, some want companies to have some kind of track record; some will accept only online submission, some want a business plan.
