Ryerson Angel Network (RAN)

Description

The Ryerson Angel Network is the first university-led Angel Investor group in Canada. Our mandate is to provide student entrepreneurs, Ryerson Alumni and those who work with Ryerson with an opportunity to connect with high net worth early stage investors otherwise referred to as active Angel investors within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

RAN offers Angels a unique opportunity to discover and participate in the commercialization of innovative and enterprising ideas from the best young minds Ryerson and Toronto has to offer. We aim to bring together qualified investors with student and alumni-led businesses for investments that range from smaller deal sizes (less than $50,000) to much larger deals (over $500,000) as well as participation in National Angel Capital Organization (NACO)-led syndication.

Impact
