Harvard Business School Alumni Angels of Greater NY

The Harvard Business School Alumni Angels of Greater NY (HBSANY Angels) is a prominent angel investment group composed of alumni from Harvard Business School. Operating primarily within the New York metropolitan area, the group also considers promising early-stage opportunities nationally and internationally. Unlike a traditional venture capital fund, HBSANY Angels functions as a network where individual members make independent investment decisions, leveraging their collective expertise, industry insights, and extensive networks to support portfolio companies.

The group focuses on providing capital to early-stage startups across a diverse range of sectors, including technology, healthcare, consumer products, and fintech. Their investment process is rigorous, involving a thorough screening of numerous applications to identify ventures with high growth potential and strong management teams. Companies selected undergo a detailed due diligence process before being presented to the broader angel network at pitch events.

Individual members typically contribute between $50,000 and $500,000 to a given startup, often participating in seed or pre-seed rounds that collectively range from $500,000 to $2 million. Beyond financial capital, HBSANY Angels provide significant value through mentorship, strategic guidance, and access to a powerful network of experienced business leaders and entrepreneurs. This hands-on approach aims to accelerate the growth and success of their portfolio companies, fostering innovation within the startup ecosystem.
