Background

The Baylor Angel Network (”BAN”) is a seed and early stage investor network for friends and family of Baylor University and the Hankamer School of Business.

The Baylor community can benefit from an organized group of angels that provide aid to entrepreneurs who need capital and/or expertise to build their businesses. In an era when venture capital groups are reluctant to fund early stage start-ups, angels are one funding option necessary to keep the start-up environment thriving in Baylor. The Baylor community has a large pool of committed individuals with business experience who are looking for investment opportunities, a means to help Baylor students, and provide financial support to Baylor University and the Hankamer School of Business.

The Role of the Baylor Angel Network

• Prospective investment opportunities are not offered by or endorsed by the Baylor Angel Network.

• Members are responsible for making individual and independent investment decisions, both as to suitability of an investment and as to the amount, if any, invested based on their own individual evaluation of the merits of the proposed investment.

• The network acts solely as a facilitator of the investment process, providing members with a method by which members may meet, view, analyze and monitor investment opportunities.

• The network does not provide members or others with investment advice and does not benefit from the success or failure of the investments of its members.
