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.

NextPlay Jobs is a modern recruiting firm founded by former LinkedIn leaders. We believe great hiring starts with relationships. That’s why every search is led by one accountable recruiter who owns the process from start to finish. No handoffs. No noise. Just experienced industry operators helping great companies hire great people. Our goal is simple: build the kind of recruiting firm clients trust, candidates respect, and employees never want to leave.
