Band of Angels is a group of angel investors focused on providing early-stage capital to innovative startups, particularly in the technology sector. The organization also offers mentorship and support to entrepreneurs, leveraging the experience and networks of its members.

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 their time and money into new, cutting edge, startup companies. We've seeded over 277 companies in our history with 61 profitable M&A exits and 11 IPOs. Band members have founded companies such as Symantec, Logitech, and National Semiconductor and been senior executives at the likes of Sun Microsystems, Hewlett Packard, and Intuit.

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.

I even confessed to her why and when I fell in love with #MathewMcConaughey 😌 🙃 Believe it or not, he is the reason I left #mytribe in the Bay Area and #moved to #Austin, even though i have never met him (but would love to).
