Zachary Aarons - AngelList

I invest in 6 startups @ $25-$100K a year

How I like to add value

I work with companies to set up business development relationships. Typically the companies are looking to partner with hotels, destination management coordinators, restaurants, and other local businesses. Sometimes, I match my portfolio companies with each other.

What I'm looking for

The company is usually either based in New York or San Francisco and has roughly 3-4 employees. I almost exclusively participate in Angel rounds of $500,000.

It was nice to speak with Zach just now for the first time. He was really nice, easy to get to know, understood our business quickly, and offered some valuable introductions right out of the gate.

Zach was a great straight-to-the-point meet. He grasped the totality of Parlor within minutes and was straight forward with his thoughts on potential engagement.

It was terrific to speak with Zach. He is a very approachable person with great insights into mobile and location (and what they can be in the future), and a passion for travel. A valuable experience.

— Founder of a company Zachary took an intro to
Zach is to-the-point and can move very quickly as an investor for startups in which he is interested. Raising from Zach was an easy and enjoyable process. He is very experienced as both an investor and operator of local and mobile businesses. As an investor, he is always happy to engage with us and provides very helpful advice as well as introductions. Has a strong network in fashion, retail and NYC.
