About
AIM Group, established in 2011, operates as a premier early-stage funding source in the Southeast, structured as a network of angel networks rather than a traditional venture fund. Based in Opelika, Alabama with significant operations in Atlanta, Georgia, the organization has evolved into a multi-state investment platform covering Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and the broader Southeast. The investment thesis centers on identifying and funding quality entrepreneurs building scalable businesses in technology, with secondary focus on advanced manufacturing, cleantech, and business services. The network structure simplifies the fundraising process for entrepreneurs while offering disciplined, syndicated investment opportunities for individual angel investors. The Atlanta Connection (established 2012) represents AIM's most successful expansion, achieving significant deal flow through partnerships with established Atlanta angel groups and ecosystem players. AIM Group's portfolio spans 35+ companies with emphasis on Seed and Series A rounds typically ranging $50,000-$500,000 per investor. The organization has cultivated strategic partnerships with the Atlanta Technology Angels and regional startup accelerators, enabling efficient deal sourcing and follow-on capital coordination. The network's emphasis on disciplined investment process and collaborative syndication has attracted limited partners and institutional co-investors. The combination of regional focus, structured processes, and commitment to founder success positions AIM Group as an accessible first institutional capital source for Southeast-based entrepreneurs.
