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.
