Band of Angels

The Band of Angels is Silicon Valley's oldest seed funding organization. We are a formal group of more than 150 former and current high-tech executives who are interested in investing our time and money into new, cutting-edge startup companies. Since 1994, the Band has facilitated the investment into Silicon Valley's best seed-stage startup companies. The Band has invested in 400+ companies since 1994. This activity has created 10,000+ jobs. Of the Band's portfolio companies, 17 have gone public, and 97 have been acquired. The Band meets monthly to formally consider three startups selected from among the more than 50 that are screened each month by the Band Deal Selection Process. Entrepreneurs can expect a thorough examination and, occasionally, an investment from some of Silicon Valley's most accomplished entrepreneurs.
