Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at the Wharton Angel Network?
Founder and Managing Director Marty Secada oversees the network's operations, with Chair Deb Bardhan and Co-Head Dave Levy leading deal screening and syndication. A rotating committee of sector-specialist alumni evaluates opportunities before they are presented to the full membership. Final investment decisions rest with individual members, who commit capital on a deal-by-deal basis.
Is the Wharton Angel Network structured as a fund or a syndicate?
The network operates as a deal-by-deal syndicate, not a pooled fund. Members review vetted opportunities and choose whether to participate in each round individually. This structure means the network carries no reported AUM and deployment varies with member appetite and market conditions.
How does the Wharton Angel Network source deals?
Deal flow originates through the membership's professional networks and the Wharton Club of New York's programming. The network's leaders screen opportunities by drawing on the alumni base's density of operators, founders, and investors across venture-backed industries, particularly in the New York metro area.
