I have a friend that does a bunch and is part of a group. He got me involved in my first private placement. I just wrote a check, I'm not involved in any consulting or operations. Since then, I have gotten interested in doing more and have been looking how to get more active.

I'm in Pittsburgh and I found this "club". I think I found it my googling private equity investment or angle investor.
BlueTree Allied Angels - Home

I noticed it is part of this group, which you might find a club near you.

Angel Capital Association - North America's Professional Alliance of Angel Groups

I know you said you didn't want to invest, but if you click on the "Partners" tab you can see a lot of other organizations, and those might be the ones to contact.

Additionally, let any CPAs or attorneys you know what you are looking for. They might know of opportunities or who to contact.
