The Private Investors Forum (PIF) is a non-profit organization of accredited private investors dedicated to providing education and stimulating investment in the Greater Philadelphia Region, including New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.
PIF accomplishes this mission by hosting the Annual Angel Venture Fair (April 6 & 7 2009) , quarterly educational meetings and monthly breakfast meetings for accredited private investors for the exchange of due diligence knowledge on specific investments. To further enhance the group’s mission, PIF established the PIF Due Diligence Fund to assist and encourage investor members.
Prior to emerging as the Private Investors Forum, the organization was known as the Pennsylvania Private Investors Group (PPIG), an angel network of accredited private investors which gathered to review business plans and to make investments in young companies. Today, the Private Investors Forum enjoys a close relationship with LORE (an angel investment network), Ben Franklin Technology Partners, and Innovation Philadelphia.
The Private Investors Forum's peer network of angel investors facilitates the introduction of entrepreneurs and investors through circulation of materials and presentations; it does not function as a securities broker-dealer, investment advisor, securities exchange or clearinghouse, and is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commissions.
SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL
Submit your proposal through our use of Angelsoft, an online application program which enables our members to collectively review your proposal. Our submission process provides a forum which enables our investors to provide better feedback to companies should they decide to do so. Since PIF is an Ad Hoc group of accredited investors who review submissions on their own time, there is no guarantee that your information will be reviewed in any specific time period. However, PIF does have monthly breakfast meetings at which companies are invited to present their proposal in person and in greater detail. The best way to to ensure your company receives the attention it deserves is to network in person with people in the community - your lawyers, accountants, business organizations - and find advocates for your company - people who know our members and who will help you connect with them.
Feel free to periodically call us for a schedule of local business events at which you might connect with investors in person.
Nothing replaces personal communications.
Investors invest in leaders, more than they invest in business plans.
