The Orange County Angel Network was founded in March of 2005 as a d/b/a of the Orange County Capital Development Corp. to provide early-stage capital in the range of $100K-$1M, an investment range not generally served by institutional venture capital funds.

Our mission is to provide opportunities for our members to obtain outstanding financial returns by investing in early-stage companies located in, or willing to relocate to Orange County, New York.

Our members are entrepreneurs, CEO’s, venture capitalist and business leaders who have founded, funded and built successful companies. They may actively participate in the companies funded by mentoring and coaching, providing contacts and assisting with team building, and strategic planning.

In conjunction with the Angel Network investors, The Orange County Capital Development Corporation also operates its own sidecar fund which, as the name implies is a committed source of capital that “rides” or invests alongside our angel group. Sidecar funds invest in deals that have been vetted by, and are being invested in, by the angel membership.
