Review on Band of Angels by Mallami Yusuf
Band of ANgels is an amazing seed funding group from Carlifornia
Investing in startups since 1994, The Band of Angels is the oldest venture capital group in Silicon Valley.
They are an official organization of over 120 past and present high-tech leaders that spend their time and resources in fresh, high potential startup firms.
In their history, they've seeded over 250 firms, with 50+ lucrative exits.
Members of the band created firms such as Symantec, Logitech, and National Semiconductor, and have held top positions at companies such as Sun Microsystems, Hewlett Packard, and Intuit.
The Band is mainly interested in early stage high technology and life science firms with excellent teams, proprietary technologies, and large market opportunities. Located in California, the Band of Angels bascially focuses on startups within California, which means entrepreneurs from other countries aren't eligible for any partnership or deal.
- They raised up to 3.2 million dollars for a startup, the highest so far
- they have been well established and most popular among startups in California
- Focusing on only Californian startups might not be a welcoming idea
