We invest in Bay Area-based early stage companies after they have raised initial capital and/or generate some revenue. We don’t typically lead rounds, but when it makes sense, we invest across the life cycle of our portfolio companies, not just in the initial round. Check size ranges from a few hundred thousand dollars to a few millions.

I’m excited to share the companies we added to our portfolio in Q2 and why. If you or someone you know runs a Bay Area-based company raising a bridge to series A, or a series A, we’d love to hear from you. The best way to get in touch with us is via a mutual connection, most likely a current investor or your law firm. If that’s not an option, then email dealflow@angelsforum.com.

When a due diligence is appropriate, we ask the entrepreneur to make a data room available to the due diligence team. Through a review of the material in the data room and discussions with the CEO, exec team and references, the due diligence lead is able to cover the key aspects of the due diligence: team, business, financing, and match with TAF.
