Enchanted Angel Evenings

At Sand Hill Angels, we recognize that strong relationships are the cornerstone of success in the angel investing landscape. Our organization thrives on collaborative teamwork, fostering connections between angels and entrepreneurs, and building strategic partnerships with other angel groups, venture capitalists, and key players in the larger ecosystem.

We believe that working together to source, screen, and perform due diligence on deals is essential, but that building trust through networking and socializing is equally important for positive investment outcomes.

Each quarter, Sand Hill Angels hosts several events designed to strengthen these relationships. We invite you to take a peek into our social world, where our angels enjoy activities such as cooking with CuisineStyle by Pamela Keith.
