About

Background

We are a formalized group of Angel Investors, managed by i2E, Inc., created to narrow the capital gap in Oklahoma by making the investment process between early stage companies and member angel investors more efficient.

SeedStep angels is designed to provide investors with increased deal flow, coordinated due diligence and standardized term sheets and company valuations.

The Organization

SeedStep Angels was founded in 2009 in response to the growing need for an organized angel effort in Oklahoma. Due to the widening gap in the capital markets, there is a shortage of funding available at the seed stage ($250K-$5M). This funding gap represents a great opportunity for investment in companies with substantial growth potential but an inability to attract venture capital.

Seedstep members invest their time, talent and/or capital in companies with solid business models and in entrepreneurs with successful growth experience.
