Bellingham Angel Investors

Bellingham Angel Investors (BAI) is a group of accredited investors dedicated to supporting early-stage ventures in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, Canada. Since its founding in 2005, BAI has invested over $30 million in approximately 50 companies, focusing on those with unique products or solutions that address unmet market needs and are led by exceptional teams. The group is segment agnostic, emphasizing a diverse range of industries and business models.

BAI operates as a syndicate, pooling resources from its members to make investments. The group meets monthly to review and discuss potential investment opportunities, often collaborating with other regional angel investment groups to syndicate funding rounds. This collaborative approach allows BAI to leverage a broader network of expertise and resources, enhancing the support provided to portfolio companies.

The group's investment strategy is to provide not only capital but also valuable connections and expertise to help entrepreneurs accelerate growth and build exceptional shareholder value. BAI's members come from diverse backgrounds, sharing a common interest in discovering and investing in high-potential companies that contribute to the local economy. Their involvement often extends beyond financial support, offering mentorship, strategic guidance, and access to a network of industry contacts to foster the success of their portfolio companies.
