Alamo Angels Entrepreneurs Application

Entrepreneurs Application

Apply to Pitch
Thank for your interest in Alamo Angels. Below you will find our application for investment. You should be aware of a couple of things.

For the sake of brevity, your responses to each of these questions have been limited to two hundred fifty (250) characters; or, one paragraph of about 5 lines.

We know that the answers to these questions can be complex; however, this format is designed to give us a quick understanding of your opportunity. Should your venture be selected to present to our membership you will have ample opportunity to expand and explain on all of these topics.

Also, Alamo Angels cannot accept any information (including pitch decks) that is marked "Confidential" or "Proprietary". We simply see too many applications to accept the implied liabilities these warnings contain.

Further, we have marked some of the common investor terms below with quotation marks (“ “). Please Google those terms if you are not familiar with them.

Lastly, you are also encouraged to upload your most current investor presentation. There is no proscribed format for your presentation; however, the membership of Alamo Angels has a certain number of topics of interest (which you’ll find on page 3 of this application). You are encouraged to review this topics list to ensure they are covered in your presentation.

Additionally, you may upload an Executive Summary or a 90 second “Elevator Speech”, though not required.

Now, on to the application questions:
