Company Performance Metrics
Anchor Angels is an independent angel network for the Vanderbilt community. The network connects investors with early-stage founders through curated deal flow, structured pitch forums, and educational programming — building infrastructure for the Vanderbilt startup and innovation ecosystem.
Anchor Angels is a community, not a fund. Members invest
individually on their own terms. A screening committee of experienced investors evaluates each opportunity. Approved startups present at pitch forums, where members conduct diligence and make independent investment decisions.
The network is open to anyone with a Vanderbilt connection — alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents, and community members — as investors, founders, or associates.
Anchor Angels operates in partnership with Vanderbilt's Center for Entrepreneurship.
