Key people at SuperAngel.Fund.
SuperAngel.Fund operates as an early-stage venture fund, deploying capital into nascent companies. The fund targets investment opportunities across the Consumer, PropTech, and Future of Work sectors. It offers financial backing and strategic guidance to portfolio businesses, aiming to foster growth from their earliest stages.
The fund was established by Ben Zises, an entrepreneur and investor who began angel investing in 2014. Zises's journey into venture capital was shaped by prior experience as a founder, providing direct insight into early-stage operational needs. This understanding informed his transition to becoming a prominent early backer and founding advisor, formalizing his investment approach.
SuperAngel.Fund focuses on early-stage companies and entrepreneurs seeking capital and mentorship within its concentrated sectors. The fund’s vision is to identify and nurture promising ventures at their inception, leveraging its founder's operational and investment acumen. It seeks to be a foundational partner, guiding entrepreneurs through early phases of business development.
SuperAngel.Fund is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2021 by Ben Zises that invests primarily in Consumer, PropTech, and Future of Work sectors. Its mission is to bridge the gap between angel investing and institutional venture capital by providing early-stage startups with capital and operational support to scale effectively. The firm targets U.S.-based companies at pre-seed through Series A stages, typically writing checks from $25,000 to $250,000 or more. SuperAngel.Fund’s investment philosophy combines the speed and flexibility of angel investing with the resources and network of institutional VC, enabling it to invest as close to the first check as possible and maintain deep founder relationships. Its portfolio includes over 125 companies, with notable investments in Caraway, Arber, Settle, Density, and Swag.com, the latter of which was acquired by Custom Ink in 2021[1][2][6].
SuperAngel.Fund was founded in 2021 by Ben Zises, a seasoned angel investor and former startup founder based in New York City. Before launching the fund, Zises spent six years as one of NYC’s most active angel investors and experienced the full startup lifecycle firsthand, including founding a company that ultimately wound down after failing to raise a subsequent funding round. This background gives him strong founder empathy and a unique understanding of the startup journey. The fund evolved from Zises’ personal angel investing activity into a more structured vehicle to capitalize on his network and investment edge in Consumer, PropTech, and Future of Work sectors[1][2][6].
SuperAngel.Fund rides the trend of early-stage, sector-focused venture investing that leverages founder empathy and network effects to identify and scale breakout startups. Its timing is favorable given the growing importance of Consumer innovation (including D2C and eCommerce SaaS), PropTech’s digital transformation of real estate, and the Future of Work’s evolving workforce technologies. The firm’s hybrid model addresses a market gap between informal angel investing and larger institutional funds, providing startups with both early capital and ongoing operational support. By backing companies at the earliest stages and maintaining close founder relationships, SuperAngel.Fund influences the startup ecosystem by accelerating innovation in these key sectors and enabling founders to access strategic capital and resources earlier than traditional VC cycles allow[1][2][4][6].
Looking ahead, SuperAngel.Fund is positioned to continue scaling its portfolio and influence by leveraging its strong network, data-driven investment approach, and founder-centric philosophy. The launch of SuperAngel.Fund II, a traditional fund vehicle backed by AngelList’s Systematic Fund-of-Funds, signals a move toward broader institutionalization while maintaining its early-stage focus. Trends such as digital transformation in real estate, consumer brand innovation, and workforce technology evolution will shape its investment journey. As the firm deepens its portfolio and expands co-investment opportunities, its influence in shaping early-stage venture capital and supporting breakout startups is likely to grow, reinforcing its role as a bridge between angel and institutional investing[3][6].
