Sand Hill Angels

Sand Hill Angels is a group of Silicon Valley angel investors who fund and mentor technology startups. It describes itself as member-led rather than a fund, and its investors are mostly founders, operators and venture capitalists. The group has worked alongside venture funds and other angel organisations in the Bay Area for over two decades.

What Sand Hill Angels offers

• Startup investment: puts money into disruptive, scalable technology companies from seed through Series B.
• Mentoring and introductions: members open doors to customers, channels, partners and talent.
• Sand Hill Angels RAW: a relaxed session where founders pitch and get real-time feedback from investors.
• Member network: investors can join, source and vet deals, and mentor portfolio companies.

Who it works with

Founders raising a first round or already deep into fundraising can use the feedback sessions. New members are volunteers who take part actively, and they attend meetings first to see how the group works. The group also works with a set of preferred partners such as law firms and banks.
