South Coast Angel Network

South Coast Angel Network

South Coast Angel Network is a structured angel investment network with a geographic footprint spanning five US cities: Chicago, Waco, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Williamstown. Founded by a group of family offices and individual investors, the network was designed to provide a systematic approach to early-stage venture investing. The group targets seed and Series A investments across technology, healthcare, and consumer sectors, with a focus on companies headquartered in the Midwest and adjacent regions. Portfolio companies include undisclosed names in software, biotech, and direct-to-consumer brands. The network deploys capital through direct equity investments and occasionally participates in syndicated rounds alongside other angel groups. Total assets under management are undisclosed, as are the number of professionals managing the portfolio. The network maintains a lean structure, with investment decisions made by a rotating committee drawn from its membership. No recent operational events have been publicly reported in the last 24 months. A structural differentiator is the network's deliberate regional focus across multiple small and mid-sized cities, allowing access to deal flow outside traditional venture hubs like Silicon Valley and New York. This decentralized model gives member investors exposure to a diverse set of companies and reduces geographic concentration risk.
