Membership Benefits
Sand Hill Angels members benefit from diverse expertise, shared due diligence, and collective mindshare.
Membership in our angel group allows members to aggregate their individual investments, and enables each member to create a more diversified portfolio than they could on their own.
Sand Hill Angels is typically able to negotiate information and pro-rata follow-on investment rights, and often invests enough money to negotiate being a board member or board observer at our Portfolio Companies.
Membership Information
Membership in Sand Hill Angels is open to Accredited Investors who are interested in being active in the investment process and who want to invest their own money into start-ups and diversify their portfolio. Members pay an initiation fee, annual dues, and make annual investments that exceed a required minimum amount.
Sand Hill Angels encourages interested, qualified members to attend several meetings to understand our process and culture, and meet current investor and Board Directors. Prospective members are assigned to a member of our Membership Committee to assist them through the process and answer any questions they may have.
Membership in Sand Hill Angels is not suitable for everyone. Our membership process is designed to ensure that expectations are discussed and understood by both the prospective member and Sand Hill Angels. If there is mutual interest, one-on-one interviews are conducted prior to the prospective member's nomination to the Sand Hill Angels Board of Directors for membership approval.
Please note that unlike many angel groups, we do not admit prospective members whose overriding interest is in offering services to presenting start-up companies.
