Our Story
The (701) Angel Fund was established in 2015 to serve
the growing capital needs for startups within the
Midwest. By utilizing the professional experience of the
general partner and vast business knowledge of the
board of directors, this fund is well positioned to find
high-growth investment opportunities within the region.
Angel investing is time consuming and risky.
The experienced leadership of the fund leverages its
network to quickly identify, evaluate, and de-risk viable opportunities.
As a North Dakota fund, we acknowledge the
legacy of entrepreneurship, integrity, and a strong work
ethic in what we do and seek to invest in companies
with identical values. (701) has been the long time area
code of the state, but for us, it serves as a reminder to
embody those values ourselves and empower
like-minded innovators!
