About
Built by operators who remember what it feels like to be a founder.
SF Angels Group started in 2014 with eight founders who had just exited their companies. A decade later, we're thirty-plus accredited investors who've written individual checks into 140+ companies and helped many more with referrals, hires, and introductions.
We're not a fund. We're a group. Members decide deal-by-deal, invest directly or via SPVs we coordinate, and spend serious time with the founders we back.
Values
What we care about.
Founders first
No fees to pitch. Simple paperwork. A quick no beats a slow maybe.
Operators over observers
We've all built and scaled companies. We know what helps and what doesn't.
High trust, high candor
Straight feedback. Warm intros we stand behind. No performative portfolio support.
Small and deliberate
We back a small number of companies each year and commit real time to each.
For founders
What working with us looks like.
- • $25K–$250K individual checks; $250K–$1.5M group rounds.
- • Decision in 14 days, median. Always an answer.
- • Post-investment: Slack channel, monthly office hours, warm intros.
- • We never block rounds, never price shop, never demand board seats.
For investors
How membership works.
- • Referral-based admission. We prioritize operating experience.
- • Attend pitch nights. Write the checks you want, skip the ones you don't.
- • Co-lead deals with other members when a portfolio company raises.
- • Give back: two warm intros per portfolio company per quarter.
