Super angel (or "super-angel") investors are a group of serial investors in early stage ventures in Silicon Valley, California, and other technology centers who are particularly sophisticated, insightful, or well-connected in the startup business community.

Super angels share some characteristics of traditional angel investors, and venture capitalists, and have been described as a hybrid of the two models. Unlike traditional angel investors, they are typically professionals for whom investing is their primary occupation.

Features

Some common features of super angels include:

  • Creating a professionally managed investment fund
  • Serial investing (investing in numerous startup companies)
  • Investing at a seed round in startup companies
  • Funding rounds in the (approximate) range of $50,000 to several million dollars, larger than typical "friends and family" rounds but smaller than most venture rounds
  • Taking an active role in portfolio companies
  • Raising money from general partners and other principals, without passive investors in the fund
  • Fund principals who are experienced entrepreneurs
