Hub Angels Investment Group

What Hub Angels Investment Group does

Hub Angels Investment Group LLC is a Boston-based angel investment fund founded in March 2000 by Charles Cameron and David Verrill. It operates six sequential fund vehicles (Hub Fund I through VI) with nearly 200 accredited-investor Members, structured as an LLC under a Management Company governance model. The firm invests $250K-$750K in preferred equity at pre-seed and seed stages in early-stage technology and life sciences companies headquartered in the Northeastern United States and Canadian Maritimes, explicitly avoiding companies valued above $10M and pure therapeutics. Hub does not accept unsolicited plans; the two Managing Directors generate roughly 80% of deal flow through 25-year relationships with MIT, Harvard, BU, the Boston venture capital community, and local professional services, supplemented by Member-sourced opportunities. The firm screens approximately 350 companies annually, presents 25, and invests in 3-4, reserving more than half of each fund for follow-on rounds to protect ownership and negotiated terms.

The fund has built a portfolio of more than 50 companies since 2000, deploying over $50M of direct capital alongside nearly $1B of co-investment from more than 40 venture firms including Bessemer, DFJ Gotham, Venrock, First Round, GGV, and Intel Capital. Notable exits include DraftKings and Zipcar IPOs and acquisitions of CircleLending, Experion, Intelligent-Biosystems, Copiun, Incentive Targeting, Seahorse Bioscience, and Cambridge Blockchain, totaling 19 significant exits across the portfolio. Hub generates revenue through fund management fees and carried interest on exits, with Members entitled to co-invest in portfolio companies at the same terms and no carried interest on those side-by-side investments. Recent activity includes 2026 participations in Myrias Optics (seed extension to $7.5M) and Stake ($8M debt/equity round), consistent with the firm's long-run steady deployment cadence rather than a strategic pivot.
