The Camino Real Angels is an investment organization established in El Paso, Texas. As a non-profit organization, it enjoys tax exemption from the Internal Revenue Service. The group is managed by its own members who appoint their own Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, and Board of Governors. The group's mission is to generate significant financial returns on the investments made by its members in companies in the local region. The investment group does not operate on accumulated fund but on individual investment decisions made by its members. Members are accredited investors with clear understanding of the high risks involved in investment and vital experience and knowledge in investment process. The experiences in various industries and businesses of the angel investment group's members enable them to perform various functions such as serving as members of committees or mentoring newly emerging companies.
The Camino Real Angels usually acquires investment opportunities from its own network of connections. The group provides up to $1 million worth of investment to early-stage companies within the Greater El Paso and Southern New Mexico areas. Companies that have great potential to achieve market leadership and are capable to provide a compelling return of investment in a fast rate are highly preferable. A company should also have a strong competitive edge in the industry, a continuously growing market base, an experienced management team, a realistic and viable exit strategy, and a valuation that should meet the investment expectations of the group. A company that is interested to apply for funding should accomplish a deal screening form that is available on the group's website. This form should be directly submitted to the group via electronic mail.
An application that interests the Camino Real Angels will undergo evaluation and be assigned to a pre-screening team. A meeting shall be set between the candidate company and the pre-screening team in preparation for a screening session. During this meeting, a candidate company shall be given fifteen minutes for business presentation and another quarter of an hour for panel discussion. After these, members of the group will perform a due diligence process. If further interest is incited from the members, the company shall be requested for a final business presentation during a dinner meeting. If a significant number of members are interested to invest on the company after the business presentation, the negotiations for the terms and agreements for final investment shall take place.
