By Angels, for Founders
Stockholm's Investment Firm and Angel Club
As a Propel Capital angel, you get early access to portfolio companies before other investor groups, and a trusted network of fellow investors to syndicate and co-invest with.
Propel Capital is an invite-only angel club. Since 2014, we've brought together 100+ business angels to back Sting-associated startups through shared syndication and collective due diligence.
Now in its seventh syndicate, the model is simple. Around 45 angels per syndicate back a curated portfolio of startups that have already cleared Sting's rigorous selection process; only 6% of applicants make it through.
In 40% of portfolio companies, angels go on to invest directly on top of the syndicate's initial stake. As a Propel Capital angel, you get early access to portfolio companies before other investor groups, and a trusted network of fellow investors to syndicate and co-invest with.
You bring your experience, your network, and your conviction. So does everyone else in the room. That's what makes the difference.
