Pre-Seed and Seed fund focused on PNW and BC startups

SAF is a member-driven, single-entity Fund looking to investment in young companies with strong revenue scale potential, in a large and growing market sector, led by a passionate and determined entrepreneurial team. SAF has sequential annual funds, and endeavors to invest all capital in a single year (from each Fund), creating a diversified portfolio for investors with each Fund. This structure is also advantageous for entrepreneurs as SAF invests through a single entity, based on a 2/3rds vote of the Fund members. SAF has a thorough and disciplined due diligence process. We try to complete diligence within 30 days of a company presenting to the members at a monthly meeting. Respect for and engagement with companies is an important part of our process. We prefer companies with some initial revenue from early-adopter customers, but will also look at companies at an earlier stage of development. Our ultimate goals are to be: 1. a leading, respected angel investment Fund offering investors portfolio diversification and active involvement (if desired), as well as the enjoyment of working with like-minded and investment-oriented members; and 2. a sought after investor for our conscientious and thoughtful analysis process, providing far more than money to young companies, including experience, knowledge and connections.
