WHO WE ARE
Sand Hill Angels is one of the largest, most experienced, and most active angel groups in the country. We are primarily focused on seed-stage, high-tech companies.Sand Hill Angels is a member-led network of 140+ Silicon Valley investors — founders, operators, and VCs who've built deep technology companies themselves. For 26 years, we've backed entrepreneurs not just with capital, but with the hands-on mentorship and networks that come from having done it before. Our Track Record Speaks for Itself.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
We invest in large, growing markets where the problem is well-defined, the solution is genuinely disruptive, and the technology is defensible. We back teams with a clear go-to-market plan and a demonstrated ability to execute — usually once they have a working alpha or beta product, or early revenue and real customer relationships. Members make independent investment decisions and Sand Hill Angels does not operate a fund, share in the profit of member investments, or charge presenting companies any fees.
HOW WE INVEST
Typical checks range from $50,000 to more than $1,000,000, made through a single aggregated LLC so our investment shows up as one clean line on your cap table. We focus on North America so our members can stay actively engaged with portfolio companies through the early, high-stakes stages of growth — and we don't invest in real estate.
BUILT FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
Most of the companies we back go on to raise venture capital, which is why we've built close relationships with local VC firms. Our members open those doors — along with connections to customers, channels, and the service providers growing startups need.
