Note from Ben Zises

😇
SuperAngel.Fund is an early stage fund that invests in Consumer, PropTech & Future of Work. The fund is led by Ben Zises who was the first investor and founding advisor to quip, Caraway & Arber, before each had its name. To date, the fund has invested in more than 50+ companies, many of which you’ve likely heard of.

Investment Strategy
We invest where we are most passionate and have an informational, educational, access & network advantage: 
  • Stages: Pre-Seed through Series A (< $100MM)  
  • Target Check: $25k - $250k
  • Frequency: 5 - 10 Deals Per Quarter
  • Geography: U.S. Based   
*Exceptions will be considered on a selective basis (for exceptional opportunities)

The top performing venture funds deliver 3-4x over a 10 year hold period (20-30% IRR), and as such, that is the benchmark we aim to exceed 🚀.

Ben Zises - General Partner
  • Earliest check possible with deep conviction
  • Massive network to bring in other strategic capital 
  • Operational, sales & team building support 
  • Founder empathy, dedication & loyalty
  • Prior founder experience enables us to share learnings, provide unfair competitive advantage
    All resulting in…
  • Higher quality deal flow “access”
  • Identifying what it takes to achieve outsized results “selection”
References
Founders often describe me as their company’s #1 fan, providing continuous support and championing them throughout the short, medium, and long-term.
  • Simon Enever, Founder & CEO of quip: “Ben took an immediate interest in what we were building, instantly believing in our ability and vision. He wrote us the very first check within days and started making introductions to other strategic investors/advisors and helpful resources- during a time we needed it most. I am grateful to have Ben as our first investor and advisor, and recommend that any founder or co-investor find a way to work with him!”  
  • Jordan Nathan Founder & CEO of Caraway: “Ben has gone above and beyond as an advisor, our first investor, and mentor for myself and the Caraway team. Ben's proven track record and great success in the consumer space has been nothing short of invaluable to learn from. He is a huge value add to our business and we are a more successful company because of his efforts and time. We are lucky to have Ben as a partner and I am excited that he has joined us on our journey building Caraway!”
  • Vanessa Dawson Founder & CEO of Arber: "Ben fully embodies the term "Angel Investor". He’s with you from the start, when no one else is, believing in you and your vision and leveraging his extensive CPG knowledge and network to guarantee you succeed. Ben’s enthusiasm, process, strategy and pace were the reason I closed my pre-seed round ahead of plans. He was an invaluable first investor and I know he will be a long term member of the team!"

The fund lead and the fund's investment advisor have the right to waive or charge additional carry to certain investors. The fund's legal name may be different from the name used above.
This fund may accept new investors after the fund undergoes a valuation update. Certain potential investors in the fund may then have access to materially different information concerning fund value at the time of their investment.
Current or future portfolio companies in this fund may use AngelList's recruiting platform and may pay an affiliate of the fund's investment adviser for premium recruiting tools and services.
