Managed by the Entrepreneurs' Center, EC Angels facilitates connections between entrepreneurs and potential investors, providing capital and strategic guidance to foster business growth. The network meets regularly to evaluate investment opportunities, focusing on companies that are clients of the Entrepreneurs' Center, including those in the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), Entrepreneurial Service Provider (ESP) program, and other partner organizations. Investment terms vary depending on the company's stage, market traction, and investor expectations.

To become a member of EC Angels, individuals must meet the SEC's criteria for accredited investors. Membership details can be obtained by contacting the Entrepreneurs' Center. Entrepreneurs interested in pitching to EC Angels should reach out to their business advisor or entrepreneur-in-residence (EIR) to begin preparing their presentation.
