If you’re building a startup and can’t get past the first call with traditional VCs, here’s the uncomfortable reality:

You’re playing the wrong game.

Institutional VCs demand traction, validated metrics, and proof points before committing.

But angel investors?

They write checks before the product ships.

They back founders, not just financials.

In 2025, US angel investors backed 70,000 funding deals totaling $28 billion, while the broader VC market funneled 65.6% of all deal value into AI/ML alone.

That concentration means if you’re not building AI at scale, you need angels who understand your vertical.

With ~66,000 active angel investors in the US, the challenge isn’t access to capital.

It’s access to the right angels who align with your stage, sector, and story.

✅ What You’re Getting

A founder-tested database built to connect you with angels who actually deploy capital:

200+ verified, active US angel investors

Person Name, Firm Name, Job Title for direct outreach

Investment Focus (AI, SaaS, fintech, climate, healthcare, etc.)

Check Size ranges so you pitch realistic asks

Additional Info on portfolio, thesis, and preferences

LinkedIn profiles for warm intro mapping

…and more insider intel to help you target smarter

Whether you’re raising $250K or $2M, this list eliminates months of cold outreach and gets you straight to decision-makers.

🎯 No more VC rejection loops – pitch people who fund pre-traction

🚀 Faster yes/no decisions – angels move in weeks, not quarters

📈 Operator angels who’ve built, scaled, and exited themselves

According to the Angel Capital Association’s 2025 Angel Funders Report, angels “remained resilient, continuing to back bold ideas, support diverse founders and adapt their approaches” despite market headwinds.

This database gives you direct access to that resilience.

Early capital isn’t just funding.

It’s momentum, credibility, and the permission to build.

This list helps you find backers who bet on you, not just your metrics.
