Angelpad.org Website Review

angelpad is a seed-stage accelerator program based in nyc and san francisco. since 2010 we have launched more than 140 companies while other accelerators have decided to “scale” and take on more and more companies or launch more and more cities, we have stayed true. to our original goal: find awesome companies with founders we like to work with and spend three very intense months with them. this focus. validation for the company. we are also instrumental in helping companies prepare for fundraising and of course for investor meetings. the sheer progress a startup makes in 12 weeks of angelpad is nothing short of stunning. angelpad has become one of the most reliable hit machines in silicon valley. and it’s done it largely by operating as a kind of anti-y combinator, even while the famed incubator was its inspiration. mit, brown university and the university of richmond evaluate over 160 u.s. accelerators every year to determine the top performing programs. the seed accelerator rankings project is the only quantitative study of accelerators performance.  angelpad has been ranked number 1 and “angelpad’s rise to the top is rooted in extremely high satisfaction of its graduates, high valuations for its portfolio “with small cohorts and the attention angelpad dedicates to each startup, they are in a clas* of their own”. angelpad has one of the best funding records among all accelerators. our companies have raised a total of $1.4 billion since 2010, that’s an average funding of $10m per company. almost 10% of all angelpad companies are valued over $100m. let’s face it, building a company is hard, especially the first year when there are limited resources, no or little support, and frankly all you have is you (maybe a co-founder) and the belief that you can do great things. that’s when we come in – we are always the first investor in companies, but more importantly, we are there for you: in our offices, together with you, figuring stuff out.
