Investment Thesis

Sand Hill Angels is a member-driven angel group that provides “smart money” — funding plus hands-on mentorship, domain expertise and network access — to technology startups. They focus on investing patient capital into disruptive, scalable technologies (“seed to B stage”) that have developed products (alpha/beta or revenue) and customer relationships, preferring businesses that can reach $50M–$100M revenue in 4–5 years and are not capital intensive. Their process is collective: members source, screen, perform shared due diligence, and remain actively involved after investment to help companies scale and reach follow-on rounds.

Value Add

Large, experienced membership: ~140+ accredited, high‑technology founders/executives and angel investors with 25 years of history, providing deep operating experience.
Member‑driven model (not a traditional fund): "Members make independent investment decisions and Sand Hill Angels does not operate a fund, share in the profit of member investments, or charge presenting companies any fees."
'Smart money' network effects: ability to aggregate individual investments for greater diversification, negotiate information and pro‑rata follow‑on rights, and often secure board seats/observer status.
Strong pipeline & ecosystem ties: active collaboration with VCs, StartX, other angel groups, and curated "SHA Preferred Partners."
Structured deal vehicle and ranges: invests via multi‑class LLCs so the investment appears as a single cap table entry; typical checks range from ~$50,000 to >$2,000,000; prefers priced equity but will use convertible notes/SAFEs when appropriate.
Programs that add founder value: offerings like 'Sand Hill Angels RAW' for pitch practice and real‑time investor feedback.
Selective membership and conflict rules: expects active participation, mentorship, board service, confidentiality and explicitly excludes prospective members whose primary interest is selling services to presenting startups.
