Membership
Who we are.
Sierra Angels brings together 50+ high-net-worth families plus experienced Fortune 1000 executives and exited founders who fund, mentor, and make introductions for early-revenue seed-stage tech companies.
Our model
Bring your first check, or your fiftieth.
We are friendly, inclusive, and founder-first. First-time angel investors are welcome, and so are experienced large-check writers.
Meetings are held in person in Reno/Tahoe and Las Vegas, with virtual attendance available.
Members do more than write checks. They mentor founders, make introductions, and syndicate deals with partner angel groups and funds across the country.
Meeting cadence
8 meetings a year.
Five cycle meetings, two virtual portfolio updates, and one summer social at Lake Tahoe.

How members invest
Invest the way that fits you.
There are three ways members put money to work: directly, through SPVs, and through the group's matching fund. Most members invest $20K-$100K+ per year across multiple startups.
Direct investments
Invest directly and sit on the company's cap table.
SPVs
Invest through special purpose vehicles, starting at $10K.
Matching fund
Members contribute to a shared matching fund. When 3 or more angels invest in a company, the fund adds $25K on top of their checks.
