Alpha Kappa Psi is paying it forward. Last year, the fraternity broke new ground with Alpha Kappa Psi Angel Partners, an organization established to leverage internal resources within the fraternity to support fellow brothers in their business start-ups.
What is Angel Partners? Angel Partners is an angel organization comprised of Alpha Kappa Psi alumni striving to give brothers a chance at initial capital funding and counsel for their own business endeavors. As a channel to further engage alumni and fuel a variety of start-up businesses, Angel Partners is aimed at mirroring Alpha Kappa Psi's vision of being the premier developer of principled business leaders. Our objectives are to:
- Create a vehicle for high profile / high wealth alumni that allows for further engagement in the fraternity and extends beyond an annual approach of direct contribution
In addition to the value provided by early funding, Angel Partners also finds importance in applying the expertise, practices, wisdom and guidance that has paved the way to our own business successes.
How Angel Partners got started. Angel Partners was first discussed at the Las Vegas Convention in 2005 and was formally launched in November 2007. The concept for Angel Partners was introduced as a means of mitigating a negative trend in start-up funding at the seed funding level $0-$200K. As a result, Angel Partners was developed as an undertaking to guide Alpha Kappa Psi to a higher level by leveraging the business knowledge and financial resources of our members to help alleviate these macro trends and aid our fellow brothers in becoming equally successful individuals.
What does it take? Angel Partners is a continuation of our lifetime commitment to Alpha Kappa Psi and to the brothers that will follow in our footsteps. Our goal is to connect with those alumni that are interested in contributing their efforts and support to feed the entrepreneurial spirit within the fraternity. The steering committee is comprised of accredited investors and advisors who take a hands-on approach in reviewing and evaluating incoming business proposals; selecting those proposals that exhibit the most potential for growth and development; and providing funding, expertise and guidance toward a successful business case.
