ELC Angels is an inclusive community of engineering leaders investing in early-stage technology startups ranging from pre-seed through pre-IPO. The group is managed by a group of ELC members who are also experienced angel investors and operators. Our unfair advantage is that our curated group of engineering leaders can truly help the growth of the companies we invested in with product validation, customer leads, recruiting, and strategy.

We focus on investing in engineering-driven startups with disruptive market opportunities, solid traction, technology advantage, and making a positive impact on society, whether they are in enterprise, consumer, or deep tech.

We prioritize companies led by Engineering Leaders, ELC members, or ELC members’ network. GPs of the syndicate will also actively sourcing deals from their own network, and follower investing opportunities from partner VCs and syndicates.

We have founded, worked at, and invested alongside and before in companies that have been funded by VC funds including Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Venture, Craft Ventures, Founders Fund, GGV Venture, Greycroft, GSR Ventures, Index Venture, Initialized Capital, Lightspeed Venture, Sequoia Capital, SIG, Tiger Global, and Y Combinator.
