BLUEWATER ANGELS

ABOUT US

BlueWater Angels is a long-standing network of successful individuals and organizations from the Great Lakes Bay and mid-Michigan region, who are interested in investing private capital in promising start-up companies. In addition to the money that BWA members bring to any deal, equally important is the group’s vast business and technical expertise along with valuable industry connections that assist portfolio companies, accelerate growth, and increase the probability of success. While return on investment (ROI) is an important goal for BlueWater Angels, members also recognize the value of supporting the entrepreneurial community for the economic benefit of the mid-Michigan region and the state.

MEETING INFORMATION

BlueWater Angels meets the second Wednesday of every month from 4:00 to 6:00pm at various locations in the Great Lakes Bay region to review deals for investment opportunities, attend educational workshops, and participate in networking sessions.
