Since the ‘90s, we’ve been supporting founders whose potential matches their drive. With each new investment, we use our pattern recognition to help founders see around corners, calling on the world’s experts to help prevent mishaps and accelerate out of crises, so businesses can arrive faster at success.
"From recruiting support to intros to just being a shoulder to lean on whenever we need — the team at SV Angel has been amazing partners since day one. As we’ve grown and brought on many more investors, I still text and talk with the team frequently. During fundraises, when other investors demanded space in the round, SV Angel helped us make room so we could craft the best round possible, even if it was at the cost of some allocation to them. I won’t forget those moments and am so grateful to them for truly being a partner in the long term success of Rupa."

"SV Angel is the definition of a great investor and what other groups should strive to be. Their network of founders and industry luminaries is incredible and has opened doors I didn't even know existed. Working with them at Coactive has been invaluable, and I highly recommend working with them to help tilt the scales of building a category-defining company from impossible to possible."

"The SV Angel team has been a critical partner right from the beginning of our journey building Kudos. The combination of their breadth of knowledge and their unparalleled network has made navigating some of the daunting parts of the founder journey, such as fundraising, 100x less complicated. We have also always appreciated that the SV Angel team trusts us to run our company and shows up to support us whenever we need help."

"I've worked with SV Angel for over a decade as a founder of my first startup, TalkBin, and then as a frequent co-investor at Liquid 2 Ventures and, most recently, at my new startup District. They are one group you always want on your side. Every partner at SV Angel adds incredible value, and they are true founder supporters through good and bad times. I can think of no better investor to bring on your cap table."
Michael Ma
Co-Founder & CEO, District
"SV Angel was a great partner for us at Heap. They were one of the first seed investors to believe in what we were doing and then were really helpful with filling out the rest of our Seed fundraise. In every future round, SV Angel was massively supportive as well. SV Angel has backed some of the greatest companies in tech history, and the level of commitment they have is second-to-none. It was a no-brainer for us to work with SV Angel again for Airplane."
