CA Angel Networks are as unique as the private investors that make them up. Pasadena Angels 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 CA 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 Pasadena Angels, the number of organized angel groups / networks has grown in response to several factors:
- A desire to attract better deals and generate higher returns than angels acting alone
- 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 Pasadena Angels, is consistent when compared to other angel investment groups. Specific organizational and legal structures, however, remain varied. Most groups, including Pasadena Angels (Pasadena CA) develop their own organizational structures and processes independently. For entrepreneurs and other CA 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 Pasadena CA.
Pasadena Angels (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 Pasadena Angels and other groups (CA) can also provide a key source of qualified deal flow for venture firms - CA - as well as provide intermediate capital for companies with financing requirement levels between individual / private investors and institutional venture capital.
