SV Angel is a San Francisco-based angel investment firm, which helps startup companies with business development, financing, M&A and other strategic advice.[1] It provides capital investments to early stage companies focused on the Internet, e-commerce, and information technology markets.[2] In 2011 the company added more than 80 new companies to its portfolio, which then included 290 active investments.[3]
In early 2011 the company launched the Start Fund, a joint venture with DST, to direct investments to companies participating in Y Combinator.
In May 2015, managing partner David Lee departed the fund, with Topher and Ron Conway now serving as managing partners. [4]
Team[edit]
The team is composed of Founder and Co-Managing Partner Ron Conway,[5] and investors Topher Conway, Brian Pokorny, Kevin Carter, Robert Pollak, Abram Dawson, Mike Liu, and Paul La Londe.
Controversy[edit]
Conway was the single largest campaign contributor to Edwin M. Lee in his successful campaign for Mayor of San Francisco in November 2011; Conway raised $600,000 for Lee through independent expenditure committees. Since then questions have been raised about whether Lee has taken actions to benefit companies in which Conway's group has investments.[6]
