Prospective Members
Membership Criteria
Our members:
Individual Responsibility
"Our Group" is a Non Stock Corporation and is managed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership who supervise a small professional staff. "Our Group" is not a fund and does not invest as a group. Our members collaborate on due diligence but make individual investment decisions and understand that investments in early-stage, privately-held ventures are risky and can be highly illiquid, so it can be several years before capital is returned, if ever. Serving on corporate boards can also expose an individual to substantial personal liability.
