About
Landmark Angels is a San Francisco Bay Area-based angel investor community operating a sophisticated forum model to connect angel investors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals with early-stage entrepreneurs across specialized sectors. Rather than functioning as a single unified angel group, Landmark Angels curates five industry-specific forums: Investing for Cures (medical innovation/therapeutics), Health Innovations Forum (diagnostics/healthcare IT), Emerging Technologies Forum (fintech/media/IoT), Energy Forum (renewable/clean/green/ag tech), and Landmark Venture Forum (virtual, broad-based). This forum-based approach positions Landmark Angels as a sector-specific matchmaking and education platform where investors meet founders through live presentations, Q&A sessions, and post-event networking. Typical investor participants include accredited investors with sector expertise, strategic corporate investors, healthcare systems, fintech specialists, and family offices with $50K-$1M+ deployment capacity. Founders pitch to forums relevant to their sector, receive investor feedback, and coordinate follow-up due diligence with interested parties. The forum model attracts strategic investors (e.g., healthcare executives evaluating health tech, energy companies reviewing cleantech) alongside pure angels, creating diverse investor bases with deep industry knowledge. Investor membership typically involves annual or per-forum fees with check sizes ranging $50K-$1M+ depending on forum and company stage. Founder pitch fees typically range $500-$2,000 per forum. For investors: access to sector-specific expertise, curated deal flow, strategic investor networks, and flexibility to participate across multiple forums. For founders: opportunities to pitch alongside strategic acquirers, receive deep expertise feedback, and access capital from investors with relevant operational experience.
