About
Black Angel Tech Fund was created out of a poTheyrful convergence of moments at The Stanford Black Alumni Summit in May 2015 in Atlanta. During the summit, a thoughtprovoking panel about Black tech opportunities sparked a lively conversation about taking action. This dialogue revealed a simple realization – the lack of Black techpreneurs and the abundance of potential Black angel investors represented an extraordinary opportunity. Over the course of a year, the founding board diligently worked to create the Black Angel Tech Fund to invest in nextgeneration technology companies led by Black techpreneurs. Their unique approach emphasizes earlystage investments in highgrowth tech opportunities and is supported by an extensive international network.
