Band of Angels

Band of Angels was the first high-tech angel investment group in the USA and continues today, with weekly member events, monthly deal pitch dinners, and millions of dollars of annual investment into 20+ startups each year.

We are a formal group of 165+ angel investors, mostly former and current high-tech executives, who invest their time and money into new, cutting-edge, startup companies. Since the Band's inception in 1994 as the first organized high-tech angel investment group in the USA, we have funded 400+ companies with 97 profitable M&A exits and 17 IPOs. The entire Band meets monthly in Silicon Valley to formally consider 3 startups selected from among the 50+ that are screened each month by the Band deal selection process. Additionally, to facilitate deal flow and engagement from Southern California to Northern California, we hold a Special Interest Group (SiG) meeting in Los Angeles for members and companies located there.
