Stanford Angels and Entrepreneurs is an official club under the Stanford Alumni Association. We seek to strengthen Stanford’s startup community by fostering relationships among entrepreneurs and alumni investors. Our community approach to the investment process creates diverse opportunities for education, professional development, advising / mentoring, and growing one’s business and investment portfolio. SA&E has helped fund over 20 startups to date, greatly impacting the Silicon Valley landscape.

We invest in early-stage tech startups led by resilient immigrant/foreign-born founders reshaping the world. We provide financial capital, intellectual capital, human capital, and social capital through the combination of the Born Global Fund (VC fund), the Born Global Studio (venture builder), and the Born Global Community (global network). Previously known as Z LAB Ventures.

First Bight Ventures is the first early stage fund that is dedicated to synthetic biology start-ups. We see the potential of syn-bio across broad range of verticals that could truly transform the world for a sustainable future. These verticals include (but not limited to) energy, chemical, agriculture, medicine, heavy industries and consumer goods.
