About this record
- ⚑ Not a pooled fund — it is an angel network where members invest individually, so there is no AUM/fund mandate. The published contact email ([contact on file]) uses the founder's own media company domain (Core Media Group / CORE, also founded by Anoop Mathur) rather than the cioangelnetwork.com domain; verified as legitimate — it appears on both the homepage and the official About Us page. Private entity; no government/DFI linkage found.
