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.

Every year, the infrastructure that powers our homes, transports our products, heals our loved ones, and keeps our societies moving forward needs a trillion dollars more investment than it gets. GE Capital wants to change that. We believe industry and finance have to speak the same language if you’re going to drive the kind of progress the world needs now. We believe our people understand exactly what it takes to make the world work better every day, everywhere, for everyone. And we believe GE’s vision is best served by a business that knows the complexity, risk and potential of everything we offer customers — because we don’t only build it, we finance it, too. It’s more important than ever that the industries sustaining our lives get the support they deserve. At GE Capital, we use the scale, intelligence and sheer inventiveness that’s in our DNA to do just that — whether it’s being the partner of choice for the first world or developing opportunities for the emerging world, we have the talent and the capability to make a better world anywhere we invest. And that’s why GE Capital is different. We’re more than a product or service. We create relationships that support the growth of every customer with whom we partner. We’re a team of the brightest minds in finance – with unmatchable expertise in the industries that matter most. And we’ve got plans for the future. The new GE Capital is aligned with GE’s industrial businesses to bring customers cutting edge financial solutions as our company continues to build, move, power and cure the world. The world we live in today, the world we want to live in tomorrow and the world whose possibilities we’re only just imagining. GE Capital.
