Members can follow incoming opportunities through the deal room, review supporting materials, and engage directly with founders when interest develops.

A place in the innovation corridor.
Membership includes a free hot desk at TechPlace, partner programming, and connections with founders across the Southern Ontario startup ecosystem.

Common questions
Before you take a seat.
Do I have to invest in every deal?
No. Angel One members make every investment decision independently. There is no pooled capital and no obligation to invest in any company.
What does accredited investor mean?
For eligibility, consult the Ontario Securities Commission’s definition and a qualified adviser. Our guide links to the regulator’s information.
Can I attend virtually?
Yes. Regular Investment Showcases are hybrid, with an in-person room at TechPlace in Burlington and a virtual option.
Is Angel One suitable for someone new to angel investing?
Yes. The network is designed to make the process visible and collaborative. Members can learn from the questions, diligence, and experience of the group while retaining control over every decision.
Can I attend before committing to membership?
Yes. Request a Guest Pass and we’ll be in touch. Invitations and meeting details are shared privately with approved guests.
How much time should I expect to contribute?
Membership includes our programme of member meetings, access to company pitch videos, and collaborative diligence and education. Your involvement beyond meetings depends on your interests and the opportunities you choose to explore.
Does shared diligence remove the investment risk?
No. Early-stage investments carry risk, including the loss of capital. Sharing questions and research helps members evaluate opportunities; it does not make an investment safe.
