Northwest Angel Network Angel Investor Network
Angel investing has long been an important source of financial support and mentoring for new and growing businesses bridging the gap between individual (friends and family) and institutional venture capital rounds of financing. Over the past several years, Northwest Angel Network and this sector of the private capital market has been formalizing in response to both growing demands and complexity.
Northwest Angel Network - Northwest Angel Network, Inc. founded theAngelPeople.com to build strong associations with companies and accredited investors. TheAngelPeople.com supports a significantly detailed financing database for new start-up companies seeking capital investment or companies that need next round financing to improve their product or service.

ID Angel Networks are as unique as the private investors that make them up. Northwest Angel Network is a group of accredited investors (sophisticated investors) who get together to review companies for potential investment. The investments can be made by accredited individuals belonging to the ID network or by the network itself as a limited partnership.
Some angel networks charge a fee to the entrepreneur for the business plan to be reviewed, or for an in-person presentation to be made to the "angels" group and other angel networks don't.

Like Northwest Angel Network, the number of organized angel groups / networks has grown in response to several factors:
- A widening “capital gap” between individual and institutional venture capital investors that has created a need and an opportunity for pooled investments
- A large increase in the number of self-made, high net worth individuals who want to be more involved in their alternative asset management.
As a result, angel investment screening by Northwest Angel Network, is consistent when compared to other angel investment groups. Specific organizational and legal structures, however, remain varied. Most groups, including Northwest Angel Network (Boise ID) develop their own organizational structures and processes independently. For entrepreneurs and other ID angel investors, the net results of this change are mostly positive. Although the models of business angel groups continue to evolve, these groups are generally better financed than ad hoc groups of individual / private investors in Boise ID.
Northwest Angel Network (Angel Investment Network) provides an extended network that benefits both funded companies and private co-investors / other angels by providing greater due diligence, operational support and domain expertise. Business angel groups, such as Northwest Angel Network and other groups (ID) can also provide a key source of qualified deal flow for venture firms - ID - as well as provide intermediate capital for companies with financing requirement levels between individual / private investors and institutional venture capital.
