Welcome to the Billiken Angel Network. Started in 2008, our goal as investors is to provide infusions of expertise and capital to firms that show promise to make a difference for our economy and our region.

We are willing to look at firms in all industries and we look at firms at all stages, not just start-ups. However to be considered the firm or start-up must have  SLU DNA. This means firms owned or being started by current or former SLU students, current or retired faculty or staff, or firms using intellectual property licensed from Saint Louis University. For the complete description of SLU DNA, click here.

Our goal as a network is to make a difference through education and advice to all the current and future businesses in the region. We draw on an unmatched set of resources including SLU’s Entrepreneurship Center, the Habitat for Neighborhood Business, SLU’s nationally ranked Entrepreneurship Program, the John Cook School of Business, and the other resources of Saint Louis University.

This website will give you an introduction to the Billiken Angel Network. If you have questions, please contact our director, Professor Jerome Katz, at 314-977-3864 or by email at katzja@slu.edu.
