Profile

IrishAngels is an angel investment firm headquartered in the United States and founded in 2012. The firm is composed of a network of Notre Dame alumni who have a shared interest in investing in promising early-stage companies. The group is woman-led and has built a community of over 200 members, many of whom are experienced operators and executives. What differentiates IrishAngels is their emphasis on leveraging this network to actively support and advise their portfolio companies through introductions, partnerships, and strategic guidance.

IrishAngels primarily invests in pre-seed and seed stages, targeting sectors such as fintech, digital health, B2B SaaS, consumer, supply chain and logistics, AI and analytics, proptech, and sustainability. They focus on U.S.-based companies with promising early signals such as real customers, early revenue, and viable product-market fit. Their average check sizes range from $250k to $350k, with typical round sizes being between $1M and $4M.

Notable investments by IrishAngels include Chime - personal finance, TradingView - financial market analysis, Wolf & Shepherd - footwear, Hallow - prayer app, and MarginEdge - restaurant management. The firm's approach is heavily reliant on the Notre Dame alumni network, which serves not only as financial backers but as active participants in the growth of the companies in which they invest.
