North Coast Ventures
North Coast Ventures (formerly North Coast Angel Fund) is comprised of four contributed capital funds with a focus on early-stage technology investments. Our membership consists of a number of Ohio’s leading investors, entrepreneurs, and business leaders who are dedicated to accelerating early-stage ventures. North Coast Ventures members play an active role by generating deal flow, serving on due diligence teams, working with portfolio companies, or serving on the Investment Screening and Executive Committees. Through this involvement, our goal is to provide a supportive environment for our portfolio companies and ultimately enhance the performance of our Fund. Northeast Ohio has a long tradition of active and successful angel investing, but until recently, the success of this crucial form of funding has hinged on the efforts of a relatively small number of individual investors. As the region’s first professionally managed angel fund, North Coast Angel Fund works to improve the early-stage funding environment for both entrepreneurs and investors.
