Cross Atlantic Angels

Cross Atlantic Angels (CAA) is a Silicon Valley-based business angel group that focuses on investing in German startups that have a clear path to entering the US market. Founded in 2023, the group comprises a diverse membership of over 25 individuals with backgrounds in entrepreneurship, corporate executive roles, programming, engineering, finance, law, investment banking, and tax advisory. CAA operates by sourcing deals through its members' networks and presenting them to the group, allowing individual angels to make investment decisions at their own discretion. The angels then leverage their collective expertise and networks to support their portfolio companies' growth and facilitate successful exits. CAA is particularly focused on companies with a strong German foundation but require the resources and connections necessary to successfully enter and scale within the US market. Their collective experience allows them to provide strategic guidance, operational support, and access to key networks, giving their portfolio companies a competitive edge. Their portfolio companies can leverage their diverse backgrounds for support navigating the complexities of international expansion, offering a valuable bridge between the German and US business ecosystems. The fund's investment approach reflects an understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by German startups entering the US market. By combining local market knowledge with Silicon Valley's entrepreneurial spirit, Cross Atlantic Angels aims to identify and support promising ventures poised for international success. They are able to provide mentorship on navigating cultural nuances, legal frameworks, and fundraising strategies to maximize the likelihood of a successful US expansion.
