Welcome to The Big LeBowski Group!

The Big LeBowski Group is composed of retired entrepreneurs or executives, who may be interested in angel investing for reasons that go beyond pure monetary return. These include wanting to keep abreast of current developments in a particular business arena, mentoring another generation of entrepreneurs, and making use of their experience and networks on a less than full-time basis

About The Big LeBowski Group

Our mission is to make the world a better place for entrepreneurs, and to have a deep and lasting impact on those with whom we work. We believe the democratization of entrepreneurship is a powerful force for global good.

Capital Efficiency

More venture; less capital. We strive to take bolder risks earlier. Often, these don’t require “big” dollars, and in our experience, too much capital early on can constrain creativity.

fund Size

We are focused on what we see as the most promising stage of entrepreneurial creativity and return potential: seed and Series A. With approximately $900 million under management to invest at these levels.

7x24 Support

We discovered through our history and our customer base that the types of ``helpdesk`` calls that come in are often related to start-ups issues. We are able to accomplish more with less headcount at least under our model.

Who You Are

If you are backed by The Big LeBowski Group, it means you have what it takes to build a world-class, category-defining business. Each of our entrepreneurs is unique, yet all demonstrate the necessary character, courage and scrappiness to make pioneering strides into a new technology or market. When it comes to education, experience or credentials, there is no prototypical Angel entrepreneur. Our founders are elite in their area of expertise regardless of whether they are college-dropouts or serial startup veterans. They understand what is best for their business like no one else can, but also have the self-awareness to leverage outside resources for additional support.

Who We Are

The Big LeBowski Group commands more than three decades of experience building and supporting hundreds of startups and growth-stage technology companies. We are a diverse yet intimate group of individuals who believe in treating each other—and our entrepreneurs—as peers in an open, honest, welcoming environment. We take inspiration from the 19th century French chemist Louis Pasteur, who put it eloquently when he said, “Chance favors the prepared mind.” We credit our thesis-driven, “prepared mind” approach for our success in investing. We invest in promising entrepreneurs who take risks to build tech they believe in. These are the hallmarks of exceptional entrepreneurs. For over 30 years, we’ve seen the impact that small groups of talented individuals can have.

How We Partner With You

Working with Angel Partners means entering into a partnership of equals. We celebrate individuality, creativity, and diverse opinions, and we respect each entrepreneur’s vision and leadership for his or her own company. We do not seek to operate, manufacture or flip companies – we strive to help you realize your own vision, as your trusted partner. Angel Partners offers support tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities of your company. As an Angel entrepreneur, you gain access to our extensive network of industry experts and seasoned veterans. This includes well-vetted, high-quality connections to professionals from across a myriad of company building services.

Global Reach. Personal Touch

Our team has worked together for over a decade. We are serial entrepreneurs ourselves: the True partners have founded 14 startups, and three of our partners are active Founders and CEOs of companies in today’s technology ecosystem. We know tech markets and the entrepreneurial experience as well as we know each other.
