Membership Criteria
BRAIN investors meet the following criteria:
• They are accredited investors in accordance with SEC rules.
• They have track records managing and building successful companies, either as entrepreneurs or operating executives.
• They are willing and able to lead due diligence, structure investments and coach entrepreneurs.
• They participate in a peer network of domain expertise and contacts for subsequent funding, talent and technology.
• They dedicate significant time and effort to BRAIN activities, including screening sessions, identification and analysis of investment opportunities, and serving on BRAIN committees.
Individual Responsibility
BRAIN is managed by a Board of Advisors elected by the membership and staffed by an executive director. BRAIN is not a fund and does not invest as a group. BRAIN investors collaborate on due diligence, but make individual investment decisions and understand that investments in early-stage, privately-held ventures are risky and can be highly illiquid, so it can be several years before capital is returned, if ever. Serving on corporate boards can also expose an individual to substantial personal liability.
Membership Process
Membership in BRAIN is by invitation only. If you wish to be considered for membership, complete and submit our membership inquiry form. If you seem to be a good fit, you will be promptly contacted by our program director, who will discuss our program with you and set up an interview with members of the BRAIN membership committee.
