Invest with Flywheel

Join an Angel Network that Fuels Innovation

The Flywheel Angel Network brings accredited investors together to invest in innovative, Washington-based companies through the annual Flywheel Investment Conference. Each spring, members review startup applications, select the top finalists to pitch live on stage, and collectively invest in one or more companies at the conclusion of the conference.


Flywheel offers investors a collaborative and rewarding experience that blends community, education, and impact. Whether you are an experienced angel or exploring startup investing for the first time, the Network provides a structured and supportive environment for meaningful participation. Together, we connect people and capital to shape Washington's future.

The Flywheel Angel Network is open to accredited investors who want to connect, learn, and invest with purpose.
