Angel’s Forum
The Angels' Forum (TAF) invests in seed and early-stage business ventures, with preference towards disruptive technologies that will open new, large market opportunities. TAF's investment focus includes the following industry sectors: consumer products, enterprise software, industrial products, Internet and e-commerce, medical devices and service, as well as clean-tech.

For over a decade, The Angels’ Forum has been investing, mentoring and advising Silicon Valley startups from the seed stage all the way through a meaningful exit. We are a diverse group of 25 high net worth private investors, all of whom have been CEO’s, founders or senior executives of successful entrepreneurial ventures. We have the capital, time, experience, skills and passion to work with other entrepeneurs to build disruptive companies.

Our focus is on seed and early stage companies seeking $100K to $1M investment in a wide range of industry sectors including medical devices and services, IT, Internet and consumer. We limit our investments to companies headquartered in the 10 counties that make up the Silicon Valley/Bay Area. In the earliest, most fragile stages of a venture, proximity is important. As a result, our resources are close by when entrepreneurs need them most.
