Angel Investors

How It Works

Membership of Irrus Investments is by invitation only, and each Member makes their own individual investment decisions. The group shares investment opportunities such that all members have the option, but not the obligation, to invest in any given start-up company.

WHAT IS AN ANGEL INVESTOR?

Irrus Investments are active Angel investors, which means that we participate directly in the ‘entrepreneurial process’ by advising start-up companies at the strategic level, whilst also leveraging our network of contacts to remove bottlenecks at an operational level as well.

WHAT IS AN ANGEL GROUP?

In line with our active investment philosophy, one of our Members acts as the ‘Lead Angel’ for all Irrus members that have chosen to invest in a particular company, providing a single point of contact for both entrepreneurs and Members alike. In addition, it is usual for our ‘Lead Angel’ to take a seat on the board once we have invested in a new portfolio company.

Irrus is a member of the Halo Business Angel Network which is an all-island umbrella group responsible for the development of business angel syndicates on the island of Ireland.
