About
Delaware Crossing Investor Group is a membership-based angel investment network established in 2005, operating primarily across the Greater Philadelphia region and the NYC-Washington DC-Pittsburgh triangle. The organization brings together a network of former and current executives and entrepreneurs who provide both capital and strategic counsel to early-stage and growth-oriented companies. DCIG operates as a membership organization where qualified investors commit to active participation in the investment process, including sourcing prospective portfolio companies, managing due diligence, and serving on portfolio company boards. The group typically deploys capital in check sizes ranging from $1 to $5 million, with a primary focus on seed-stage investments across diverse sectors including biotechnology, business productivity software, and recreational goods. DCIG's investment approach emphasizes thorough evaluation of management team strength, growth prospects, competitive market dynamics, and business model viability, though the group maintains flexibility in its investment criteria. Members are expected to attend most general membership meetings and play an active role in group functions, reflecting the collaborative nature of the organization. The group has built a portfolio of 11 confirmed companies and has completed at least 15 documented investments, with recent activity including a September 2024 investment in Vytala. Portfolio companies span sectors including biotechnology (Vytala), business software (Measure Studio), and recreational goods (Gilson).
