FundingPost Venture Capital and Angel Investor Network

Tristate Ventures is a New York-based angel investment group founded in 1999 by Mr. Stephen Nagler. Considered to be the leading angel investment group in New York today, the organization invested over $3 million on newly emerging companies in 2003 alone. Over the years, the group has assisted various companies from a wide range of industries such as biotechnology, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, medical devices, and information technology as a member of the leading organization of angel investors in North America, the Angel Capital Association.

The members of the Tristate Ventures come not just from New York but also from Pennsylvania. There are currently about sixty-four member investors. Members come from different fields of expertise from the most successful industries as corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and private investors. Most of these angel investors are retirees who have attained great wealth and honors from their endeavors. Thus, they look for lucrative investment opportunities with early-stage companies with great potentials for growth.
