Member Services
The Australian Association of Angel Investors Ltd (AAAI) is the national association for Angel investors founded in 2007. We
- Provide a voice for Australian Angel investors;
- Offer professional education and provide other relevant information; and
- Implement programs of interest in the sector,
to build a professional community of Angel investors and to enable our members to be more successful investors.
The fundamental tenet for AAAI and its members is that by enabling our members to be more successful as investors, more entrepreneurial businesses will be successful and our members will derive greater returns from their investments. This success will then encourage members to continue to invest in similar activities, thus promoting increased and ongoing investment and a sustainable “virtuous cycle” of investment driving the Australian innovation economy.
Since establishment in late 2007, AAAI has:
- Delivered Annual conferences in 2008 (Canberra), 2009 (Brisbane) and 2010 (Adelaide)
