Meet a Nevada Angel
Jeff is a fourth-time investor and one of three fund managers at AngelNV – along with being a general partner at FundNV, 1864 and the Sierra Angels. Jeff has been leader in building a vibrant and inclusive startup community and investor ecosystem in Las Vegas and throughout Nevada. The once nascent StartUpNV angel syndicate now has more than 280 investors, about half of whom learned through the AngelNV program. Since 2021, AngelNV investors like Jeff have gone on to (collectively) fund 33 transactions in 23 companies, investing more than $6.7M – which is (as of 1/31/2024) worth 2.1 times that amount.
Schedule a chat with Jeff to see if AngelNV or startup investing is right for you. The general guidance is to invest no more than 10% of your net worth in the early stage venture investment asset class – ask Jeff or another fund manager why and how it works.
What the investment covers:
- $5,000 of unit cost is invested.
- The remaining $500 tax deductible donation is billed separately by StartUpNV (a 501c3 non-profit) and covers program operation costs, Nevada Blue Sky state fees, and fund set-up and administrative costs for the life of the fund (~7 years).
- Additional units cost $5,000 (limit 4). No admin fees or donation on additional units.
- All units have voting rights – 1 vote per active unit with a max of four (4) votes, even with five (5) or more units.
- An extra one-half voting unit is awarded to diligence team leaders and fund administrators for the additional work required.
- Investors domiciled outside of Nevada may incur additional blue sky fees for their states ($300 to $500 for most states)
- Fees also include access to AngelNV Investing Bootcamp, ACA Membership, and two (2) finale event tickets.
