Black Angel Group

The Black Angel Group is a collective of angel investors from top tech companies and start ups that invests intellectual, social and financial capital in seed to Series A startups around the world. Our collective believes in and support founders who build ethical, high-growth technology companies.

It started as an idea to diversify venture capital investing, and now, it’s a reality. Fresh out of stealth mode, the Black Angel Group (BAG for short), was formed during the pandemic.

BAG is a collective of professionals across Google and Alphabet dedicated to investing in early-stage, venture-backable, high growth startups. Check out this TechCrunch article to learn about our goals and what we’ve been working on during the past year.

Introducing our new content series 🚀 

We're excited to kick off a new series where we dive into the minds of leading innovators and investors shaping the future of technology. We’ll be hosting insightful conversations with Black Angel Group members and inspiring founders in our portfolio, exploring emerging trends, insights and best practices across topics from AI to Go-To-Market and beyond.

In celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth, we're beginning this series with a spotlight on our incredible portfolio company, Aster, which is an all-in-one women’s health patient management platform, focusing on improving prenatal and postnatal care. Co-founded by sisters Fifi Kara and Lailah Kara-Newton, MD, Aster stems from a deeply personal journey and a commitment to bridging gaps in healthcare access and quality. 

Learn more about their platform and their journey in our discussion below. 

Want to support Aster and their mission? They offer a couple of ways to do so:

➡ Raise awareness about the maternal health crisis and, in particular, the Black maternal health crisis. This is crucial for driving legislative action and local initiatives, and empowers each of us to advocate for ourselves, for our friends and for our family. 
➡ Provide guidance. They're seeking partners who have experience in healthcare technology, but also healthcare broadly–experts in malpractice insurance or EMR integrations with larger systems. They also would love advice from experts in areas like go-to-market, sales or other skills.
