Goldie Health empowers response teams to save and support those in acute opioid crisis

Established in 2004, Charleston Angel Partners is the area’s longest-tenured and most established angel investment group providing capital, counsel, and resources to empower early-stage founders.

Longleaf Angels backs early-stage founders who get overlooked, not for lack of promise, but because capital still tends to cluster in a handful of traditional markets. We bring purposeful, engaged capital with deep Southern roots and reach that extends well beyond the region, built by investors and operators who understand what it takes to grow ambitious companies outside the usual venture hubs. Our members invest independently while working collaboratively: evaluating opportunities, sharing expertise, and staying engaged with founders well beyond the initial check. That model creates more ways for investors to participate while giving founders access to a broader range of experience, perspective, and support. Through relationships with angel groups, venture investors, SSBCI-backed funds, and other regional capital partners, we help create additional pathways to capital and connections that can support long-term value creation for the companies we back.
