Companies that would gain the most positive response from the members and investors will present their proposal during the CommonAngels' monthly breakfast meeting. The company who would draw the most interest from the members would undergo a due diligence process of four to six weeks. After the final negotiations and actual investment, a member of the CommonAngels will sit as one of the Board of Directors.
