AngelPad

A deliberately small accelerator taking very few companies per cohort in exchange for concentrated attention.

Program Type
Seed Accelerator
Headquarters
New York & San Francisco
Focus
Small-Batch Seed

Overview

AngelPad runs unusually small cohorts, accepting far fewer companies than most programmes of comparable standing.

The trade-off is deliberate: fewer companies means each receives substantially more direct partner time than a large-batch programme can offer.

Program Structure

  • Very small cohorts by accelerator standards
  • Roughly three-month programme
  • Investment in exchange for equity
  • Heavy direct involvement from the founding partners
  • Demo day to a targeted investor audience

What They Look For

  • Small teams with strong technical capability
  • Clear problem definition rather than broad ambition
  • Founders receptive to intensive, direct feedback
  • Business-to-business and marketplace models feature prominently
  • Willingness to be present for the programme
Notable Portfolio

Companies they've backed.

Postmates and Buffer are among the companies that went through AngelPad's early cohorts.
