The NJIT Highlanders Angel Network, Inc.

NJITHAN strategically invests in promising early-stage ventures connected to NJIT and in the NJ/NY/PA Tri-State Area. The network provides investment capital, mentoring, and access to resources to support High-Tech Life Science & Technology related businesses (e.g. bioscience, information technology, advanced energy, electronics controls, sensors and advanced materials industries). As a group, the network typically provides $100k-$250k+ in funding through preferred securities, with individual member contributions ranging from $25k to $75k+. The network's focus is broad, with particular interest in fintech, AI, and healthcare, but does not include life sciences. The network tends to avoid yet-to-be-approved products in highly regulated industries (e.g., medical devices, drug development, or nutraceuticals) that might pose a risk to life or those that cannot easily be scaled.
