New World Angels (NWA) is a Florida-based, member-led angel investment group composed of accredited investors, seasoned operators, and business leaders who provide equity capital, mentorship, and strategic guidance to early-stage entrepreneurial companies, especially those rooted in Florida’s innovation ecosystem. It has been active since 2003 and has invested $30M+ into early-stage ventures across diverse sectors.
Pre-Seed / Seed: Focus on funding early-stage companies with proof of concept and clear growth potential.
Series A: Participates in seed and early institutional rounds, typically co-investing with syndicates or other angel groups; initial investments often sit in the $250K–$2M range.
Lead or Co-Investor: Often leads rounds around $0.5M–$2.5M, syndicating with other investors to amplify impact.
Invests across a broad set of industries including healthcare, IT, AI, advanced manufacturing, and space/aerospace tech, reflecting its industry-agnostic thesis and diversified member expertise.
Founders typically apply for funding via NWA’s Dealum application platform or via introductions from members and ecosystem partners.
The group also actively supports ecosystem growth through initiatives such as the Innovation Fund (designed to provide pre-seed backing to accelerator/alumni companies) and the Space Coast chapter for aerospace and space tech startups. 

Geography: Primarily Florida-based companies are prioritized, though NWA may invest in U.S. companies with meaningful connection to Florida or co-sponsors.
Profile: Early-stage startups raising seed or early institutional capital with demonstrable product validation or MVP traction.
Team: Preference for founders with execution capability, clarity of vision, and coachability.

 Screening Committee Review: A member committee evaluates qualified applications and selects startups to present.
 Member Pitch & Evaluation: Shortlisted founders pitch to the full membership; investment interest is gauged collectively.
 Due Diligence: Participating members lead diligence on market, product, team, and financials.
 Deal Structuring & Close: Deals are executed on a deal-by-deal basis, often via SAFEs, convertible notes, or negotiated equity terms with syndication among members. 

Strategic Capital: Provides coordinated equity capital and syndicate participation to accelerate early growth.
Network & Mentorship: Connects founders with a network of experienced investors, operators, and domain experts for strategic guidance.
