Angel Investor Tax Credit Program

About this program

Connecticut Innovations administers the Angel Investor Tax Credit Program, which lists qualifying Connecticut startups on its website to connect them with angel investors. Investors who commit at least $25,000 may receive a 25% Connecticut state income-tax credit, with annual credits available through June 30, 2028, subject to program limits. Eligible businesses must have under $1 million in annual revenue, fewer than 25 employees, less than seven consecutive years of operation in Connecticut, at least 50% Connecticut-resident employees, and less than $2 million in prior eligible angel investment. Emerging technology companies—including bioscience, advanced materials, photonics, information technology, and clean technology ventures—are prioritized.
