Expedite Ventures is a business angel group of CTOs and CPOs that invests in tech founders through both capital and in-depth, hands-on mentoring. Their investment approach is based on decades of collective experience in building and scaling technology companies, which they believe is “at least as valuable as funding.” They emphasize supporting first-time founders and underrepresented groups in tech, including female and immigrant entrepreneurs, while maintaining a commitment to backing companies with substance rather than hype.
What Sets Them Apart
- CTO/CPO-led angel network with hands-on mentoring approach, operating like co-founders rather than traditional investors
- Dedicated focus on first-time founders and underrepresented groups in tech
- Strict focus on deep tech and software only - explicitly exclude hardware, e-commerce, and businesses where tech is secondary
- Reject trend-driven investing; seek substance and lasting, profitable companies over hype
- Unanimous voting requirement - all angels must agree to invest
- Anti-hype stance on AI, noting concern about shallow AI implementations on top of LLMs
- Radical transparency including brutally honest feedback when declining investments
- No haggling over terms, no board seat requirements unless requested
