Empire Angels

Empire Angels is a member-led angel investment group based in New York City, focusing on early-stage technology ventures. The group comprises experienced young professionals who invest collaboratively, either through vote-driven funds or individually, supporting young entrepreneurs in sectors such as enterprise applications, consumer tech, automotive, transportation, and SaaS. They have backed 17 companies over the past decade, including one unicorn (Socure) and have seen one IPO (Zoomcar) and six acquisitions from their portfolio.

The group's investment strategy emphasizes collaboration and transparency, providing a democratic framework with highly filtered deal flow and member training. They operate funds that invest by majority vote, as well as a diverse network of young professionals who invest directly in companies they’re excited about. Their investors choose the format that works best for them, allowing them to make better decisions and write larger total checks.

Empire Angels is headquartered in New York City but has a London Chapter, offering investors access to deal flow on both sides of the Atlantic. This international presence enables companies to tap capital from an international set of investors with a global mindset. The group is built on trust and camaraderie, fostering a collaborative environment for both investors and entrepreneurs.
