Centennial Investors Angel Network

Centennial Investors Angel Network is a venture capital company in Columbia, MO. As an angel-investing organization, they provide risk capital to high-potential, high-growth start-up enterprises located in mid-Missouri, the state of Missouri, and adjoining states. The group specializes in supporting technology- or science-based businesses that are seeking investment.

Established in 2006 as part of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce centennial celebration, the organization focuses on boosting entrepreneurship through the provision of funding and advice to early-stage firms. The investment process involves a multi-step screening and pre-screening procedure conducted by members and committees. Following a period of due diligence, which is often aided by students in the Allen Angel Capital Education Program, deal terms are negotiated and funding is provided. Beyond capital, members work together to evaluate opportunities, provide constructive feedback, and offer ongoing support to the companies in which they invest. The network also invites accredited investors to join the organization to participate in angel investing.

Centennial Investors Angel Network serves as a vital resource for technology and science-based startups looking to scale within mid-Missouri and the surrounding region.
