LA Angel Network

The Los Angeles Angel Network (LAAN) is a member-led organization of accredited investors dedicated to providing seed and early-stage capital to high-growth startups in the Southern California region. While the network is sector-agnostic, it maintains a significant focus on the life sciences, biotechnology, and healthcare sectors, leveraging the robust research and clinical ecosystem of Los Angeles. LAAN members provide not only financial resources but also strategic mentorship, board-level guidance, and access to a broad network of industry experts. The organization plays a critical role in bridging the funding gap for startups emerging from local academic institutions such as UCLA, USC, and Caltech. By facilitating syndication and collaboration with other regional investment groups, LAAN helps portfolio companies achieve the milestones necessary for institutional venture capital rounds.
