What Can I Expect from GOA as an Angel Investor?
Each featured company in a GOA Weekly Investment Briefing is carefully vetted and prepared under the guidance of Tarby Bryant, CEO and Founder of the Gathering of Angels. GOA Angels review opportunities complimentary and, after their own due diligence, may choose to invest individually or participate through GOA-facilitated structures. To date, GOA has helped facilitate 400+ capital fundings, ranging from $20,000 to $12.5 million.
Under the new model, GOA no longer hosts monthly in-person or Zoom pitch events. Instead, GOA highlights one early-stage company each week, representing a wide range of product and service industries, through its email-based Investment Briefings. Companies operating in gambling or sex-related industries are not considered; all other qualified business concepts are welcome to submit their Executive Summaries for review and consideration.
All materials distributed to GOA Angels are reviewed and refined prior to release to ensure clarity, credibility, and efficient use of investors’ time. This disciplined preparation process helps ensure that GOA Angels receive well-structured, investor-ready opportunities aligned with GOA’s long-standing standards.
If you are looking to invests in young entrepreneurial companies of the highest quality, Gathering of Angels is an excellent place to find maybe the next Microsoft or Apple. Many of our presenting companies have been acquired or done a merger with a bigger company. A few have done public offerings, and exits are normally 2-4 years in duration.
Registration on the GOA site as an Investor and completion of a personal investment profile is required, and we strive to keep networkers and service providers excluded from Gathering of Angels meetings. We hope you will join us at a Gathering of Angels meeting in the near future.
My overall experience with GOA was very positive. Tarby and his GOA coaches are very professional about helping us prepare and practice our 15 min pitch, as well as putting us in front of 30-40 real Angel Investors. I now have about a dozen of these GOA Investors that are active prospects having expressed interest in my venture. These people could potentially blossom into long-term ongoing relationships as well. The ball is now in my court to convert these prospects into actual investors. All in, Gathering of Angels offers a good bang for the buck, Thank you Tarby!
