For Entrepreneurs

Boynton Angels is a group of investors from a diverse set of backgrounds interested in investing in businesses in Worcester County, MA and the surrounding area. We generally look for preferred equity investments and hope to see a return on our investment in a 5 to 7-year period. Investments between $100,000 and $500,000 and syndicated deals with other Angel groups are typically considered. We look for early stage businesses (initial introduction of product or service) that can realistically see their way to profitability within a 12 to 18 month timeframe. Our investment interests and criteria typically include:

• A strong management team, an inventive, pragmatic concept and strategic positioning in the market place.


• Location within a 2 hour radius of Central Massachusetts (Worcester)


• Seeking no more than $2M with minimal follow-on funding


• 5-7 years to liquidity with the potential to generate a strong ROI


• Clear market need and value proposition


• Exceptional management with domain experience


• Strong intellectual property position


• Preferred Stock

Our Screening Committee reviews non-confidential executive summaries each month, often collaborating with screening committees from other Angel groups. Upon approval by the committee, the entrepreneurial team is invited to present to the Boynton Angel members at a monthly meeting. Individual members make individual investment decisions. If there is sufficient interest, the due diligence process is performed by a "deal captain" who is chosen from the group.
