New Mexico Angels is a leading group of accredited angel investors based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Established in 1999, the organization connects early-stage companies with private individuals seeking direct investment opportunities. By acting as an intermediary rather than a fund, it enables its members to review vetted business plans and deploy capital into startups with strong leadership teams and clear growth potential. Over the past two decades, New Mexico Angels has supported entrepreneurs through mentorship, workshops and introductions to the broader venture capital community.
Focusing on companies headquartered in New Mexico and the surrounding Southwest region, New Mexico Angels specializes in seed and series A financing for ventures that demonstrate innovative products or services and scalable business models. To date, its members have facilitated more than $33 million of investment into over forty portfolio companies across multiple industries including biotechnology, medical devices, aerospace and software. With a membership of more than seventy accredited investors, the group provides ongoing advice, networking events and guidance on securing follow-on funding with national venture capital firms.
Within its broad mandate, New Mexico Angels shows a pronounced interest in clean technology and advanced energy solutions. The group has invested in companies such as UbiQD, which applies nanomaterials to enhance solar power generation, and GridFlow, which is developing a lithium-sulfur hybrid flow battery for distributed energy storage. Another portfolio company, Flow Aluminum, Inc., has created a high-performance battery that captures carbon dioxide from ambient air during charging. These investments reflect New Mexico Angels’ commitment to backing early-stage ventures that address environmental challenges and strengthen future energy infrastructure.
