Who We Invest In
Silicon Catalyst Angels is primarily focused on seed-stage, high-tech companies.
We look for large and growing markets, well-defined problems, disruptive solutions, defensible technology, clear go-to-market plans, and strong teams that have a demonstrated ability to execute.
Sand Hill Angels typically invests in companies that have a developed product that is in alpha/beta stage, or delivering revenue. In most cases the company will have significant customer relationships.
The companies we support have big plans for growth that will often also require venture capital financing. For this reason we build strong relationships with local venture capital firms.
Where We Invest
Silicon Catalyst Angels prefers to invest in companies located in Northern California to promote active engagement with our portfolio throughout the early stages of development.
However, we occasionally invest nationally and we do have portfolio companies based around the United States.
Silicon Catalyst Angels currently does not invest internationally, nor do we invest in real estate deals.

•How We Invest
- For each investment Silicon Catalyst Angels makes, we form a single LLC that aggregates the entire interest of Sand Hill Angels members in the deal. As a result, our investment appears as a single entry in the company’s cap table. Silicon Catalyst Angels also identifies a single point of contact for the entrepreneur, which greatly facilitates communication between SHA and the company.
- Our typical investment range goes from as little as $50,000 to more than $1,000,000. We prefer to invest in priced equity rounds, though we also invest in convertible notes or SAFE notes when appropriate.
•How We Are Run
- Silicon Catalyst Angels is primarily a volunteer organization, overseen by a Board of Directors elected from the membership.
- Most of the deal-related work, including our entire deal screening process and our due diligence work, is managed and performed by our members. Day-to-day operations are run by a small staff. SHA is funded through memberships fees and partnership agreements.
- Silicon Catalyst Angels members make independent investment decisions, and SHA does not provide investment advice to members. SHA investments are the aggregate of individual member funding commitments. SHA does not operate a fund, share in the profit of member investments, or charge presenting companies any fees.
