757 Angels

Overview

757 Angels is a select network of over 100 business and community leaders in the Hampton Roads region, providing investment capital, strategic advice, and mentoring to early-stage companies. Their mission is to catalyze the economy by supporting promising new and early-stage companies, aiming to provide risk-adjusted returns for their members. The network seeks deal flow from the Commonwealth of Virginia. The investment strategy of 757 Angels focuses on sectors such as technology, healthcare, energy, maritime, defense, and emerging technologies. They primarily invest in seed and early-stage companies, with investment sizes ranging from $500,000 to $5 million. The geographical focus is on the United States, particularly the Hampton Roads region and the broader Commonwealth of Virginia. Over the past decade, 757 Angels has become one of the most active and influential angel networks in Virginia and the nation, deploying more than $130 million into high-growth startups and supporting multiple portfolio company exits. Their rigorous diligence and hands-on investor engagement have established Hampton Roads as a credible home for venture-backed innovation. The network also played a foundational role in launching 757 Accelerate, Hampton Roads' first accelerator program, which later evolved into 757 Collab, now the region's central high-growth venture hub supporting founders, investors, and innovation-driven companies.
