Chapters & Reach

One of the nation’s largest and most active angel networks supporting women-led companies

There are over 250 angel networks in the country. Golden Seeds is one of the largest and most active of all of these groups – in terms of our geographic reach, our large number of members, and our dollars invested each year.

The Golden Seeds angel network is the backbone for much of the work of our organization. Our membership consists of women and men dedicated to evaluating, funding and helping companies domiciled in the U.S. with at least one woman in a management role.

With nearly 300 members and nine chapters – Arizona, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, New Jersey, New York, and Silicon Valley – plus members in many other locations throughout the country and internationally, we have a vibrant nationwide network. All members belong to our national organization and may participate in any and all events throughout the country.

Golden Seeds takes a collaborative approach to reviewing companies, with active involvement from members across the network that continues as we support each company’s growth.
