Profile

Bay Angels is an angel investment group based in the Bay Area, established in 1997 by Roger King. The firm started with a pitch competition organized for the Sausalito Chamber of Commerce and has since grown into one of Silicon Valley's oldest and most active angel groups. Their membership comprises former founders, tech industry veterans, and experienced investors. They are known for their collaborative approach, co-investing with other angels, VCs, and investment banks, and emphasizing mentorship and support for early-stage companies.

Bay Angels adopts an industry-agnostic investment approach, backing strong founders regardless of sector. They invest predominantly in early-stage startups through both independent and syndicated deals with their members. Their interests span a broad range including Agentic AI, Drone and Fire Defense, Spatial Computing, and VR. The firm's total assets under management are confidential, and they pride themselves on facilitating significant connections and mentorship opportunities.

The firm has been instrumental in the early success of several startups, most notably helping OpenTable during its seed round. They continue to be a significant player in the angel investment landscape, leveraging their extensive network to propel startups towards growth and success.
