Being part of our community is more than deals and expanding a network. We rely on our partners to help angels and founders accomplish the near impossible.
At GTAN, we all push a broom and raise a hand when building startups.
Angel investing is a high-risk proposition. To be successful, we believe this is a team sport.
As the old adage goes, it takes a village, and sometimes a vineyard, to build a startup.
OFFERING
We invest both in companies and in each other.
Each month we meet to qualify deals, pitch, preform group due diligence, host angel education, and connect for business and for fun.

MEMBERSHIP
FULL CYCLE INVESTING
Individual angels invest their own private capital. You must meet Canadian accredited investor status and join with the intent to invest in at least one company per year a minimum of $25k.
We recommend you come out and connect with us before you join. Angel investing is not for everyone. We want to help you find your angel ‘tribe’ for a long history of success.
Reach out to email us to get on our invitation list.
Corporate members are investors issuing private capital on behalf of institutions. As a corporate account you received two assignable memberships.
If you are a corporate investor, family office, micro-fund, or a VC, we would like to invite you into our community of like-minded folks.
FEATURED
We host monthly meetings here in Waterloo. While we have virtual options, the biggest value-add in group investing is when you are in-person with us.
With our partner angel network of angel groups, last year we hosted over 80 events to get involved with.
Each month we look at the best startups raising in the movement, together.
We pull from our membership and network to find skill and expertise in building a great deal for angels and founders.
To match the speed of stellar founders, in addition to our monthly meetings, we host ad-hoc investment opportunities for fast moving rounds. These are not for the faint of heart, and require quick decision making.
We work together to get the community onto the cap-table.
