Angels of Many

About The Fund

Angels of Many (AoM) is an investment club with a focus on supporting early-stage tech-savvy companies during the critical transition from idea incubation to VC-backed funding. Operating with the belief that founders need a swift, simple, and supportive approach to maximize their potential, AoM provides not only capital but also mentorship and industry connections to help startups bridge this vital step. With a base in Montreal and New York City, they invest across North America and aim to finalize most deals within 60 days. Investment decisions are made directly by the people the founders speak to, thereby ensuring a personal and streamlined investment process. AoM uses standardized legal agreements and organizes its members into a single Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to simplify the investment process for founders, engaging only when their help is sought. Targeting startups that demonstrate promising early results and are led by uniquely qualified founders committed to the long game, AoM looks for companies that offer novel solutions or challenge traditional players, while steering clear of deep tech, biotech, energy, or pharma sectors. Investments typically range from $100,000 to $5,000,000, with a sweet spot of around $1,500,000, across stages such as Seed, Series A, and Series B. The club was co-founded by successful entrepreneurs and investors François Arbour and Jean-François Bouchard, who bring their collective experience and extensive global connections to bear as powerful assets for startup founders. AoM's portfolio includes ventures that are leading providers in their space, showcasing rapid growth, and raising significant funding rounds. They also prioritize building relationships and leveraging their high-growth company experience to provide more than just capital. Testimonials from founders coalesce around the sentiment that AoM's involvement has facilitated talent development, strategy, and unlocking of potential far beyond financial investment.
