FAQs

Who is an Archangel?

Our management team, LPs (Limited Partners), and syndicate members. We use the term “archangel” investors over “angel” because mission alignment and creating value is at the core of what we do. We invest more than just capital and are committed to helping our portfolio succeed. Be it through our network, access to advisory, or community.

What is our investment philosophy?

We invest in pre-seed startups. Some times seed and rarely Series A rounds. We look for traction present and stellar startups founded by women, diverse, or equity committed teams passionate for their customer base. We also work closely with pre-revenue/idea stage startups, aiding them with resources to get to where we need them to be, before considering them for investments.

What do we invest in?

We invest across all technology verticals. Though we tend to like fintech, crypto/web 3, logistics, saas, b2b health.

What is our fund like?

We are both a fund and syndicate. We invest $25K-$200K.

What is a Syndicate?

A syndicate is a special fund created to invest solely into a startup. The syndicate pools capital from multiple investors into a special entity and that entity invests the pooled funds into a company. Archangel Fund sources the deals, analyzes and vets the investments before we present to them to our syndicate. We only present startups we believe meet our high standards and thesis for investing.

How can I join the syndicate?

You can join us by filling out our investor form. Click Invest in our menu or as mentioned to do so and we will reach back out to you shortly on next steps.

What is theMinimum Investment?

The minimum investment per deal in our syndicate is $2,500

When do I get returns on investment?

Return on your investment occurs when a startup exits. This typically happens in 7-14 years via acquisition, merger or IPO. Sometimes, it is possible to exit an investment via a secondary sale to new investors. Archangel Fund has the sole discretion over when an investment via the syndicate exits.

What is a Carry?

Carry is a percentage of positive returns generated by an investment. It is earned when the investors receive their invested capital back. For example, if you invested $1000 into one of our deals it returns $2000, we would first return your principal investment of $1000 and then Archangel Fund will earn a 20% carry ($200) of what is left and return an $800 profit back to you.

What are the risks involved?

Although we are thorough with our due diligence, startups at their earliest stages is unpredictable and a risky asset to bet on. You could make multiples on your investment or lose all your money: 90% of startups fail but the 10% win can cover your loses and also return in multiples. However, we reduce the risk of failure through our vetting and due diligence process. We also mitigate failure by offering resources and expertise from our community to the startups we back. Remember, you are investing at your own risk and we cannot be held liable for any losses you incur while investing.
