"Shortly after closing investments from members of the HBS Alumni Angels, I was made aware of the Expert Mentor Program. It was timely, as we were looking to refine our strategy for generating more demand for demos, as well as hiring our first full-time salesperson. I was introduced to HBS Alumni Angel member Tomer Srulevich, who had significant relevant experience. The call I had with Tomer was exceptionally well timed, and he was very open, helpful, and easy to talk with."
Nina Tandon - EpiBone CEO
"HBSAANY has been a critical part of EpiBone's ongoing success. They have invested with us over our two most recent rounds of funding, and the members are not only engaged financially, but are also actively involved in lending their expertise to our cause, as well as offering access to their respective networks. Brett Oberman and Julio Marquez have been the best champions we could have asked for, and we are so grateful to all the HBSAANY members who are now a part of the EpiBone family."
Lauren Foundos - Forte CEO
"HBSAANY has been critical to Fortë's success. Having the support of a very well-respected angel group like HBSAANY was pivotal in generating funding momentum in our early rounds. HBSAANY continued to invest in our subsequent rounds that followed which helped to get us into the strong position we find ourselves in today. They have a very well organized process, and are a pleasure to work with as a founder. Beyond the money, HBSAANY is one of the most supportive and incredible angel groups..."
Nick Hofmeister - Front Range Biosciences Co-Founder
“HBSAANY has been with us since our earliest round of funding more than 3 years ago. They have been our biggest supporters, not only financially, but with customer and partner introductions. Barbara Moore, my HBSAANY Mentor, has also been an amazing mentor to me personally, through the inevitable rollercoaster of entrepreneurism. Would and have recommended her and HBSAANY to any other startup."
Brad Luttrell - GoWild CEO
"The support from the Harvard Business School Alumni Angel network has gone far beyond investors. Our team has received incredible support of our mission and research needs. On multiple occasions, they have helped us find top experts to consult. In addition to the mentorship value of this network, other investors have consistently been impressed by having the support of these high caliber angels."
Robbins Schrader - SafeRide Health CEO
"The HBS Alumni Angels of NY really got us started. Angel funding is particularly challenging, HBSNY ran the most professional pre-seed financing process of any syndicate we engaged. We then leveraged HBSNY's connections and reputation to enroll in a well known accelerator. We value our relationships with members of the HBSNY team. To this day we remain in contact with several members to tap into their insights."
Jonathon Ende - SeamlessDocs CEO
"Participating in an accelerator program means talking with a LOT of angel investors and angel groups. While many other groups felt scattered and were unreliable, going through the Harvard Business School Alumni Angel review process was by far one of the best angel experiences. It was thorough, professional and most importantly added some amazing people to our cap table who added value to our company."
Irene Chung - StellarEmploy CEO
"HBSAANY has been a great network for StellarEmploy. Their CEO mentorship program connected me to a wonderful advisor with industry experience who ultimately joined our team in a senior management role. I could not be more happy to meet such passionate and committed talent from the network. We've also received generous support, time and advice from our angel contacts. The road to innovation is a bumpy one. Really appreciate the trusted relationships I've been able to build through this group"
Alexei Mlodinow - Surgical Innovation Associates CEO
"HBSAANY was the first angel group to invest in SIA a couple of years ago, and has supported us with both continued capital and positive attitudes across multiple rounds since then. Mauri Rosenthal, our deal lead, and his colleagues have always had solid questions, as well as shrewd insight and advice as SIA progresses through various stages. I highly recommend working with them not only because of our post-investment experience, but because they are among the most organized, transparent, and ti
Jared Kugel - TireAgent CEO
"HBS Angels Rock! They have helped me keep TireAgent on track and positioned us well for our Series A. I'm proud to be part of the HBS community."
Shawn Springs - Windpact CEO
“I am so appreciative and thankful for all of the members of HBSAANY. Their investment and
continued belief in Windpact is monumental to our success as we have continued to raise
funds. I can’t say enough about the support and willingness to do whatever it takes for us. Barry
Goldman and Alysse Sol, our deal leads, both have gone above and beyond our expectations by
leveraging their connections, offering guidance and mentorship. Thank you for being a part of
the Windpact team.”
