Program thesis
Hustle Fund backs “hilariously early” software founders worldwide, writing $25 k–$50 k pre‑seed cheques at the idea or MVP stage and then helping teams reach product‑market fit through weekly tactical support, community introductions and follow‑on capital. The firm believes speed, scrappiness and founder hustle—not warm networks—predict outsized outcomes.

Reported outcomes
After just three years Angel Squad members have invested $30 million into 70+ companies, several of which have since raised Series A or been acquired. Alumni include former NFL running back Justin Forsett, who now backs consumer‑health startups; Singapore‑based engineer Raymond Yeh, who built a 15‑company portfolio in his first year; and physician Camari Wallace, who sourced a tele‑medicine deal later co‑led by General Catalyst. These case studies illustrate how diverse professionals can quickly translate Squad education into meaningful angel track records.
