Silicon Catalyst Angels is a dedicated funding group created by silicon hardware investors, engineers, executives to accelerate startups in the next revolution in silicon and hardware.
Silicon Catalyst Angels was spawned from Silicon Catalyst, the world’s only incubator focused exclusively on accelerating solutions in silicon. Silicon Catalyst Incubator / Accelerator was named UBM/Canon’s Startup Company of the Year.
What makes Silicon Catalyst Angels unique is not only our visibility into a semiconductor-focused deal flow pipeline, but our membership is comprised of seasoned semiconductor veterans who bring with them a wealth of knowledge along with their ability to invest. Driven by passion and a desire to ‘give back’, our members understand the hardware space thanks to a lifetime of engagement in the industry. When you couple our members enthusiasm, knowledge, and broad network of connections with companies that have been vetted and admitted to Silicon Catalyst, you have a formula that is to date, non existent within the investment community.
The North American professional association of active accredited investors provides unparalleled access to trending ideas and professional knowledge to help improve returns and promote effective public policies for angels and startups.
