Learn more about how it works below.

  • The First Run Angel Group (FRAG) is our member-based angel network of founders, operators, and investors focused on early-stage consumer food and beverage investing.

  • FRAG is designed for accredited investors, founders, and operators who want to engage with early-stage food and beverage companies. All members must meet the SEC’s accredited investor criteria.

  • Deals primarily focus on early-stage consumer food and beverage companies.

  • We aim to present 8–10 deals per year, primarily via virtual meetings.

  • Deal participation is completely flexible. You choose which opportunities, if any, you wish to invest in.

  • The minimum check size is $10,000 per deal. Participation in any deal is entirely optional.

  • Members typically invest directly into the companies. There are no management fees or carried interest on standard direct investments.

    We will occasionally organize a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for select deals when specifically requested by the founder.

  • As part of First Run's integrated platform (Accelerator + Angel Group + Fund), we have strong visibility into follow-on rounds and will support SPVs where appropriate.
