AngelNV | Investor Education
AngelNV 6 is just around the corner!
Join your fellow Nevadans as we learn how to invest in startups through this hands on investment session. Starting January 13th, with a half day of investment education, we’ll continue for 10 weeks to whittle down the Nevada startups who have applied for the investment to 6 finalists, get to the hard work of due diligence and make our final selections on April 4, 2026.
The first place investment of $300k for AngelNV 5, which SSBCI matched, went to BuildQ, a platform for managing large infrastructure projects, especially in the green energy field.
Further investments of $55K each were made in Otsy, LuciHub and KnowRisk(now Voltaire).
– Angels say, “there aren’t any investable deals”.
– Entrepreneurs say, “there aren’t any investors writing checks”.
AngelNV improves both of these issues through two educational and event series – one series for founders and the other for angel investors. Some events in both series overlap – and both educational series conclude in a joint, one-day conference where at least 1 company is funded with $400,000 including $200,000 from investors participating in the angel series and a 1:1 match by the SSBCI program invested by the Battle Born Growth Ventures.
AngelNV is open to the public for any member of the community interested in learning more about starting a company or investing in a new business. Community members looking to invest must be considered an accredited investor.
AngelNV aims to build the Southern Nevada startup ecosystem by engaging seasoned and novice angel investors to build angel investing skills while providing access to deals from different industries and stages. A series of learn by doing events for investors build up to a one-day conference, and a 6-figure check for the winning entrepreneur.
The Las Vegas based Investor Track starts in early January 2026 and concludes on April 4, 2026. Schedule a time to chat with our Executive Director about participation, ask questions – or get more details online.
Entrepreneurs attend free weekly Due Diligence sessions and receive coaching and feedback from the StartUpNV Team to ensure their startup is ready for investment, as they prepare to compete at the AngelNV “main event” on April 4, 2026. The Due Diligence bootcamp program began on September 30 for AngelNV 6. Registration is open, and late registrants can catch up via recorded session.
