Hyde Park Angels is a venture capital group founded in 2007 and based in Chicago, IL, which focuses on angel investments.

Structure and application process

The Hyde Park Angels' approach to investing is "more like a traditional venture capital firm."

The process is:

• Companies are vetted and whittled down to about 75
• Those 75 are brought before a screening committee
• The screening committee signs off on a select few after consulting internal Hyde Park Angels (HPA) subject-matter experts
• Companies deliver pitch to subsection of HPA
• If selected, get to pitch before HPA
• Investment status determined with investment coming from group rather than individuals

Leadership

Peter Wilkins is the managing director since 2014, with Michael Sachaj as the principal.

Board members include:

• Doug Monieson
• Bob Giammanco
• Chris Jensen
• Michelle Collins
• Joe LaManna
