Our Focus
We work closely with founders whose ambitions align with ours.
We work closely with founders whose ambitions align with ours.
Modern Enterprise & Frontier Tech
We’re firm believers in the value of meaningful barriers to entry. The founders we work with have a clear pathway to establish sustainable barriers to entry, often grounded in technical depth. We back companies that sell products and services to other companies, as we’re well-positioned to help them.
Born in Europe or Israel
While we know that great innovation can come from anywhere, our focus is on companies and founders with roots in Europe or Israel. We’ve been investing across this ecosystem for over a decade, helping founders successfully cross the Atlantic and build globally.
Early stage
Angular is a full-stack pre-A venture investor. We can invest as early as pre-revenue, pre-product, or at inception, but we also lead large seed rounds in more mature companies. Generally speaking, the earlier we engage, the more we can help founders accelerate their trajectory.
Global ambition
While it’s possible to build a great business in a large local market, we’re exclusively focused on companies pursuing a truly global opportunity. In most cases, this means a focus on US market entry from day one.
Domain expertise
We’re focused on founders who are “angular,” bringing unique technical or domain expertise to the table. We work hard to support founders through our deep industry networks, but the key to success is often the unique insights into a market that only founders can bring.
Commitment & trust
In every entrepreneurial journey, dedication to mission and alignment of values mark the path to world-changing success. We're playing the long-game, creating trusted partnerships with teams committed to going the distance.
