About
The Breakfast Club represents a established angel investor network in the Nashua, New Hampshire region, focusing on early-stage startup financing and mentorship. The group is notable for its membership of accomplished entrepreneurs and technology pioneers, including Morton Goulder, a founder of Sanders Associates, and Dick Morley, recognized as the father of the programmable controller and a seminal figure in industrial automation. This pedigree reflects the group's roots in New Hampshire's strong engineering and technology heritage. The network operates as an informal affinity group of angel investors who pool expertise and capital to support regional entrepreneurs navigating the startup phase. Members contribute both financial resources and operational guidance drawn from their own business-building experiences. The group's approach emphasizes hands-on involvement rather than passive investment, with successful members transitioning from operator roles to investor roles. While specific check size ranges and formal investment stages have not been publicly detailed, the group's composition suggests focus on technology and industrial innovation sectors aligned with New England's manufacturing and software traditions. The informal structure and regional concentration allow for personalized due diligence and ongoing board support. Entrepreneurs gain access to seasoned operators who understand scaling challenges, while investors diversify holdings across promising early ventures. The network effect within the group creates deal flow advantages and syndication opportunities among members.
