Dedicated to investing in Kentucky start-up businesses, creating new jobs in the commonwealth, and providing strong financial returns to our members.

Who We Are

The Bluegrass Angels is a volunteer-led group of skilled and experienced business leaders who fund and mentor innovative, high-tech Kentucky startups. In addition to funds from our own members, we syndicate funding for companies from other local investors and angel groups nationwide. Based in Lexington, we draw members and invest in companies across the Commonwealth.

Angel investors are key to keeping the startup environment thriving by serving as the funding source to companies that are looking beyond friends and family for their next support.
