Washington Square Angels

Deal flow runs primarily through NYU's alumni and faculty network. The group relies on member referrals and university-affiliated events rather than open application portals or broker introductions. This produces a concentrated pipeline of early-stage companies with some NYU connection.

Membership is typically limited to accredited investors from the NYU community: alumni, faculty, and other university affiliates. The closed-membership structure mirrors other prominent university angel groups and serves as both a sourcing and network filter.

Individual investments from the group's pooled member capital range from roughly $25,000 to $250,000, targeting seed and early-stage rounds. The group does not lead rounds as a general practice and does not operate a committed fund vehicle.

Washington Square Angels is a member-organized angel group, not an NYU-administered fund. NYU's endowment invests through a separate institutional process. The angel group operates independently, using university affiliation as a sourcing and membership filter rather than as an LP relationship.

No. The group operates as an angel network with pooled member capital for individual deals, not as a VC fund with committed LP capital. There is no publicly disclosed fund vehicle, management company, or carried interest structure.
