Get to know: Angeles Investors

The investment firm often highlights its constant search to grow the community of Hispanic and Latino angel investors.

Angeles Investors notes:

Currently, Hispanics only represent 2.3% of U.S. angel investors; we are working to correct this statistic.

In addition to developing and nurturing the portfolio of promising Hispanic and Latino companies, expanding the community of Hispanic angel investors, Angeles Investors expands opportunities for human talent from these groups, providing access to internships for interested professionals and MBA students who want to get involved with initial investment and start their venture capital careers.

“In three short years, and with the benefit of David’s leadership, Angeles Investors has grown to over 150 members, making it one of the fastest growing angel investing groups in the world. We open 2023 anticipating accelerated growth for Angeles Investors, including more opportunities for our members, portfolio companies, sponsors and partners,” concluded the firm.
