About New Mexico Angels
New Mexico Angels is a private membership organization for qualified angel investors. We have quarterly dinner meetings in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and periodic breakfast meetings in Albuquerque. The current president is John J. Chavez, who also is the President of Tafoya and Brainerd Partners LLC (a nationwide business development consulting firm). View John’s profile on LinkedIn.
New Mexio Angels was originally started in April 1999 by George Richmond under the name New Mexico Private Investors, Inc. It consisted of a few members who occasionally got together to hear of a new potentially exciting investment opportunity, and then perhaps to make an investment into the company. Under Georges direction, NMPI grew to become much more organized, become a 501©(6) non-profit organization with established by-laws and Articles of Incorporation, and a Board of Directors. In addition, it became a member of the Angel Capital Association, and began putting on seminars and workshops on investing, prepared by the Kauffman Foundation.
