Investment Thesis
Brighter Capital is a family angel fund founded by Yun-Fang Juan, a former Facebook engineer who has invested in 200+ startups since 2012. The firm believes in supporting resourceful, energetic founders determined to succeed despite risks and challenges. Rather than purely chasing returns, they invest in companies creating positive impact: ‘we don’t just invest in companies to generate returns. We invest in companies that are building a brighter future today.’ Their approach emphasizes founder quality, adaptability to market demands, and the ability to execute with limited resources while maintaining passion for their work.
