IrishAngels is a Notre Dame inspired angel investing group for experienced operators, executives, and founders who want to invest thoughtfully in early-stage companies and stay meaningfully involved beyond the check. Our investors share a common foundation through the University of Notre Dame and a belief that early-stage investing works best when capital and community come together. We invest primarily at the seed stage across B2B and consumer technology, partnering closely with founders and co-investors we respect. Since 2012, IrishAngels has deployed over $65 million into more than 100 companies. More importantly, we’ve built an active, engaged community of over 250 angels who bring operating experience, pattern recognition, and long-term perspective to the companies we support. IrishAngels aims to be a trusted partner to founders and a credible co-investor to the broader venture ecosystem. Headquartered in Chicago, with members across the U.S.
