Investments

Blue Ridge Angel Investors Network invests in innovative companies with a presence in western North Carolina or a willingness to relocate or expand to the region, and that have intellectual property, job creation potential and realistic exit strategies. While the group works together to effectively evaluate investment opportunities, each member makes individual investment decisions.

BRAIN investors focus on companies within the innovation clusters identified through a visioning effort led by the AdvantageWest Economic Development Group as having the greatest promise in western North Carolina:

  • Advanced manufacturing
  • Communications and information technology
  • Food
  • Life sciences and agribusiness
  • Retirement-related
  • Arts, crafts and design
  • Health care
  • Environment-related
  • Recreation and tourism
  • Security
The menu on the left of this page includes those clusters in which BRAIN has made one or more investments.
