Investment thesis

Bellingham Angel Investors (BAI) is an active group of accredited investors providing capital, connections, and expertise to early-stage ventures. BAI is segment agnostic, with a geographic focus on the US Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, Canada (expanded nationally post-COVID), and is passionate about companies with unique products or solutions that solve unmet market needs and are led by great people. Since its founding in 2005, BAI members have invested more than $30M in approximately 50 companies. BAI prioritizes ventures with strong management teams, intellectual property-protected products or services, and existing revenue-producing customers. The group conducts deep due diligence and actively supports portfolio companies through board seats, advisory roles, and network introductions. Members frequently co-invest alongside other angel groups such as Alliance of Angels, E8, and Keiretsu Forum.

Pre-COVID, we only invested in local companies (Surrey to Portland). In the post-COVID world, we invest in companies all around the country.

Our group tends to do some truly deep diligence to try to lessen the risk. Virtually every startup is going to pivot its product somehow, and the market is going to tell you what it needs.
