#Angels

North America, California, United States, San Francisco

Description

#Angels is a unique collective of experienced technology operators, predominantly women, who leverage their deep industry expertise and personal capital to invest in promising early-stage startups. Founded by former executives from companies like Twitter, Google, and Slack, #Angels distinguishes itself through its "operator-angel" model, providing not just financial backing but also hands-on strategic guidance, mentorship, and access to their extensive professional networks. This approach aims to offer more than just capital, positioning them as true partners to the founders they support.

The collective primarily focuses on pre-seed and seed-stage investments, targeting companies with strong teams and innovative ideas across various sectors, including SaaS, consumer technology, fintech, and healthcare. Their typical initial check size ranges from approximately $50,000 to $250,000, reflecting their role as early-stage supporters rather than lead institutional investors. This flexible investment size allows them to participate in rounds where their operational insights can be most impactful, often alongside other angel investors or smaller seed funds.

#Angels is known for its highly selective investment process, often investing in a limited number of companies each year where they believe their collective experience can drive significant value. Since their inception, they have collectively invested in over 100 companies, building a diverse portfolio that includes notable successes such as Carta, Color, and Front. Beyond capital, the value proposition of #Angels lies in the direct operational support and strategic advice provided by its members, who have scaled major tech companies. This hands-on involvement helps founders navigate critical early challenges, from product development and market fit to hiring and scaling operations, making them a sought-after partner for nascent ventures.
