Additional Information

Due Diligence Fees

There is no application fee for a startup company who comes through our process. The Nebraska Angels, a not-for-profit organization, helps coordinate the collection of signatures and funds from members who make investments. To offset the cost of processing the transaction, we request companies that receive investments greater than $200,000 by the Nebraska Angels, excluding an investment from Invest Nebraska, to contribute a one-time payment of $2,000. This will help ensure that the organization will be available to assist with the collection of investments, utilizing our Special Purpose Entity, and providing startup resources like our job board.
