CommonAngels is an investment group organization founded on June 1998 in Lexington, Massachusetts. Their name originated from the historic grounds in Boston where public meetings usually takes place.

The investment group members have witnessed and contributed to the advancement of the software and Internet companies in the area. Thus, the CommonAngels is armed with a span of forty years of very successful experience and expertise of its members in the software industry, information technology industry and the Internet business industry. Members are usually accomplished businessmen or executives who operate highly technological companies themselves.
Successful businessmen of high technology industries who are accredited investors as per SEC regulations are qualified to be a member of the CommonAngels. Although membership to the group is currently full, applications are still being accepted.
The CommonAngels prefer to invest on companies in the Boston area that are on their early stage of development and are highly competitive. The nature of company's business should be within the field of the members' expertise.

Any company that incites the interest of the member investors and meets the group's qualifications would be asked to give a 30-minute presentation of its business, and will also be given a 15-minute question-and-answer session in front of a panel. 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.
