Established in 2007, Maple Leaf Angels (MLA) is a not-for-profit membership organization. Our mandate is to connect accredited investors and the brightest, most passionate entrepreneurs in a stream-lined process within the larger entrepreneurial eco-system.
Maple Leaf Angels’ members are a group of high net worth private individuals who invest in seed and early stage technology companies. While investments are made individually, MLA members enjoy the benefit of best practices and the collective knowledge and networks of the group.
Collectively, our members look to invest between $250,000 AND $1,000,000 in each opportunity.
Maple Leaf Angels Capital Corporation (MLACC), a subsidiary of MLA, is the general partner for Maple Leaf Angels 48 Fund Limited Partnership (MLA48), a limited partnership comprised of several MLA members who wanted to invest collectively in seed and early stage companies.
After successfully investing MLA48 Fund I, the partnership once again turned to it’s members and closed a second fund, MLA48 Fund II. MLA48 Fund II will consider investing up to $150,000 per company into great early stage startups that have yet to receive seed funding. Investment decisions will be made in 48 hours.
MLA48 Fund I has successfully invested all of its funds into 4 startups. It made investments up to $60,000 per company into great early stage startups. Investment decisions were made in 48 hours.
By bringing together investment, experience and a network of partners, MLA enables high potential companies to grow and realize their potential.
Our members enjoy:
- Community of like-minded individuals

- Engagement in the entrepreneurial eco-system
To date, our members have:
