MEMBERSHIP QUALIFICATION

CAV Angel members must be UVA alumni or otherwise affiliated with UVA. This includes alumni, students, faculty/staff, researchers, parents and others with a strong UVA affiliation. Although our membership is only by invitation, we are currently seeking charter members with exceptional backgrounds in startup and early stage investment.

Though our initial members may largely be from Charlottesville or the surrounding region, our long term goal is to build a network of regional alumni-members from all over the US and the world. We are actively seeking remote alumni with exceptional qualifications for consideration as members. CAV Angels uses online platforms to review and evaluate opportunities, so all members, regardless of location, are able to access pertinent company data and due diligence reports at their leisure. When necessary, we arrange conference calls and meetings to review due diligence, deal flow and other relevant topics.
