A note on Angel membership: The Angel Core Member tier is selective and subject to approval by the Stanford Alumni Association. Membership is limited to maintain the quality and trust of our deal flow network. Stanford affiliates are given priority consideration. Non-Stanford affiliates are welcome to apply but must demonstrate meaningful capacity to contribute to the community, whether through investing experience, relevant expertise, or network access that benefits our startups.

Who Can Join

Beyond Stanford.
Open to All.

Stanford Angels & Entrepreneurs has always drawn its momentum from the credibility and trust that comes with a shared network. A shared alma mater suggests overlapping experiences, similar problem-solving approaches, and mutual connections to business affiliates.

But as information becomes more widely available and technology reduces the barriers distance used to impose, we have made it a priority to cast a wider net. A major goal of SAE Texas Chapter is to extend our community beyond Stanford affiliates, enabling folks from across the entrepreneurial space to join our events and engage with us.

Our parent organization, the Stanford Alumni Association, requires that 90% of core members maintain Stanford affiliation. Affiliate membership and startup submissions, however, are open to everyone.
