Fees

The Angels do not charge fees from presenting companies.

Review and Selection Process

If you meet the criteria of the Mumbai Angels, we encourage you to submit a plan for investment consideration. You will need to submit a Business Case Analysis (in the attached format) of your business plan. We will forward your submissions to the pre-screening committee for review. The committee evaluates submissions at the end of each month and will respond to submissions every month. If your Business Case Analysis interests the committee, we will arrange up a pre-screening meeting of our committee with you in order to enable them to assess and evaluate your business plan against our criteria including quality of management, market opportunities, financial projections, etc.

Selected Companies Process

Following successful completion of the pre-screening process you will be invited to present your plan to the entire member community of the Mumbai Angels. In the interim between selection and presentation the Mumbai Angels provides value-added preparatory services to the companies. Using its expertise, the Mumbai Angels may help the companies refine both their written and oral presentations in preparation for larger group  presentations. Typically, a company will have 20 minutes for its presentation and 15 minutes for a question and answer period.

Follow-up

In the period following the meeting the members will decide whether your business plan is of interest to them and whether they wish to participate in the due diligence for the purpose of individual investment. You may expect to hear back from us in a week to ten days. Interested members will directly work with you and your company as a due diligence team in order to address any outstanding concerns and negotiate the terms of investment.

Investment

Members invest individually and not through the Mumbai Angels entity.  The members decide among themselves how much each individual wishes to invest.
