OEN’s Portland Angel Network (PAN) is a group of over 60 accredited angel investors who meet every other month to hear presentations from three early-stage entrepreneurial companies pursuing angel investment. An independently managed subset of PAN members who prefer to invest as a group have formed the Oregon Angel Fund (OAF), a highly structured, professionally managed, fund dedicated to investing in PAN applicants. PAN members have the choice of investing through OAF, alongside OAF, or independently of OAF. PAN members prefer early-stage Northwest businesses managed by market-experienced entrepreneurs of any industry seeking $250,000 to $2,500,000 of capital, with strong growth and profit potential, and a clear opportunity for investors to obtain a superior return on their investment (e.g., a 10X return over 5 years).
