TRIUM ANGELS
Disclaimer: This is an Alumni initiative.
These activities are not affiliated with or endorsed by the TRIUM Global EMBA program in any official capacity.
A TRIUM EMBA Alumni Initiative
TRIUM Angels is an Alumni platform where TRIUM EMBA Alumni from NYU Stern, HEC Paris, and the London School of Economics and Political Science meet monthly to hear pitches in person from the most promising entrepreneurs. It offers a valuable opportunity for members to deepen their knowledge of angel investing, portfolio diversification, and mentorship, fostering a collaborative community of investors.
Founders do not need to have any affiliation with TRIUM to pitch, ensuring an open platform for a diverse range of innovative ventures.
The angel investor members, who are TRIUM EMBA Alumni, invest individually as accredited investors through a TRIUM Angels syndicate. These members provide strategic capital, leveraging their extensive industry experience and passion for supporting high-potential entrepreneurs. Many of our investors have been successful entrepreneurs themselves, adding significant value through mentorship and guidance.
Each company in which our syndicates invest is supported by an experienced coach, ensuring that the companies receive both financial backing and strategic advice.
Investments are executed via SPVs with trusted fund administration partners, including Vauban, Carta, Hatch+, or Sydecar. Alumni members actively participate in the entire investment process, from scouting and sourcing to selection, due diligence, and investment, earning carried interest and building a track record in angel and venture capital investing.
TRIUM Angels also co-invest alongside some of the world’s leading venture capital firms, further enhancing the support and growth potential of the startups they back.

OUR INVESTMENT PROCESS
Our investing members are largely focused on startups that have the potential to deliver venture-scale returns.
We are specifically seeking deeptech companies that leverage innovative software or hardware technologies to drive their value proposition. Our preference is for companies looking to raise no more than $5 million, with a maximum pre-money valuation of $20 million.
For consideration, companies should already have one or more investors with pertinent domain expertise who have committed capital, or be backed by an EU/US-based venture capital firm leading the round.TRIUM Angels partners with the R3i Capital Planet43 Investment Consortium, providing TRIUM Angels with the opportunity to syndicate alongside institutional investors.
TRIUM leverages the R3i Capital AI and Planet43 Due Diligence Methodology to systematically remove bias and identify top-quality, investable deals.
At TRIUM Angels, we actively invite applications from high-growth companies committed to diversity. Our focus is on companies that have demonstrated traction or market validation beyond the concept stage. We require interested companies to create a profile and apply through our TRIUM Angels platform. It is important to note that we do not typically conduct meetings with companies before the application process, a crucial aspect of our goal to eliminate bias from investment decisions.
All applicants are expected to submit an executive summary, as this, along with a detailed explanation of the value proposition, is a critical component of the review process by the TRIUM Angel Investment Committee in our online and bias-free environment.1Personalised Referrals
