Braingels is not a typical angel group or syndicate. It’s a unique community dedicated to supporting early-stage ventures focused on the brain, mind, mental health, and related themes, and a portal to a broad and rich network of advisors, mentors, and sometimes investors.
Interests range across the spectrum of brain-related research, development, and commercialization – from deep neurotech devices to platforms promoting wellness, spanning products that impact neurological, psychiatric, and mental health. We believe that by creating a collaborative ecosystem that brings together diverse expertise, we can drive significant progress in understanding and innovating within these critical areas.

At Rarebreed we invest in companies primarily outside of the major tech hubs of SF, NY, and MA. We invest in 2 types of companies. Those building a software product with a unique or clearly repeatable customer acquisition strategy or building a physical product in a vertical that has lacked innovation in 10+ years. This is because these two founders are out-of-the-box thinkers and problem solvers.
