Better Angels Ventures is a “fund of friends” focused on investing in and contributing value to early-stage companies.
As founders and executives, we devote our experience and expertise to every company in which we invest. We partner with daring, mission-driven people in building companies that make us all proud.
Our
Companies
We don’t focus on a specific sector. We focus on what drives us as entrepreneurs: insanely great people, disruptive concepts, important problems that need solving, and long-term impact.
Currently, a tiny slice of seed and venture capital goes to startups founded by under-represented people. This needs to change and we actively seek under-represented founders and teams.
