This guide walks you through the complete first-time setup of your angel group on AngelHub. It should take around 20 minutes.

Before you start

You’ll need:
  • Your group’s name and a brief description
  • A list of your current members and their email addresses
  • Your group’s logo (optional but recommended)

Step 1 — Complete your group profile

After signing in for the first time, you’ll be prompted to complete your group profile. Fill in:
  • Group name — the name that appears throughout the platform
  • Description — a short summary of your group’s focus and geography (2–3 sentences)
  • Logo — upload a PNG or SVG file. Recommended size: 400×400px minimum

Step 2 — Configure your pipeline stages

AngelHub ships with a default six-stage pipeline: Created, Screening, Pitching, Due Diligence, Closing, Completed. If your group uses different stage names, you can rename them in Settings → Pipeline.
Renaming a stage affects all projects in your group. If you have live projects, rename stages before inviting members to avoid confusion.

Step 3 — Set up your application form

The default application form captures the information most angel groups need. On the Scale plan, you can customise the form fields in Settings → Application form.

Step 4 — Invite your members

See the Inviting members guide. At minimum, invite Assessors before you start receiving applications.

Step 5 — Set up your sending email address

AngelHub sends group emails from an address you configure in Admin → Emails → Sending addresses. You have two options:
  • AngelHub address (instant, free) — choose a name and get an @angelhub.net address immediately. For example: djangels@angelhub.net.
  • Your own domain (£50 one-off) — enter the address you want (e.g. deals@dorsетangels.co.uk). AngelHub registers the domain with the email provider and shows you the DNS records to add. Once your DNS is verified the address goes live. A £50 charge is taken before setup begins.
Free and Pro plans include 1 sending address. Scale includes 5.
Group admins, assessors, and project leads can all compose and send group emails. The composer is available from the Emails screen.

Step 6 — Add your payment card

Add a payment card in Admin → Billing. This card is used for the £50 per-project Due Diligence charge. See Managing billing for full details.

Step 7 — Test with a dummy application

Submit a test application through your public application link to confirm the form works. Your public link is shown in Settings → Application form → Share link.

You’re ready

Share the application link with entrepreneurs and invite your angels to join.
Bookmark the AngelHub admin dashboard — it shows all active projects, member activity, and the next required action on each project.
