Investment Process & Deal Flow
District Angels operates as a member-driven syndicate, bringing together individuals who want to back bold startups with shared insights, reduced risk, and collective confidence.
Our Process
Join the Syndicate
Apply to become a District Angels member. We welcome new and seasoned accredited investors who share our values of trust, transparency, and impact.
Access Curated Deals
Members receive access to high-quality, vetted investment opportunities, often with a connection to the DMV region or government-aligned application. Each deal includes a summary memo, founder pitch, diligence materials, and clear terms.
Invest on Your Terms
You decide which deals to back and how much to invest (typically starting at $1K–$5K per deal). No capital commitment is required up front.
Leverage Group Diligence
We share insights, questions, and analysis as a community so you're not making decisions in a vacuum. Our lead members often conduct deeper diligence to guide the group.
Co-Invest with Confidence
When you invest, your capital is pooled with others in the syndicate under a single vehicle (SPV). This gives founders a clean cap table and you access to deals typically reserved for larger checks.
Stay Engaged
After investing, you’ll receive periodic updates from founders, participate in follow-up calls, and stay in the loop through our investor platform and events.
