SoundBoard Angel Fund

SoundBoard Angel Fund operates as a collaborative investment vehicle focused on backing early-stage companies, leveraging a network of limited partners to provide not only capital but also diverse perspectives and strategic guidance. This approach allows the fund to identify promising ventures and support their growth through a more integrated and experienced resource base. The fund, now operating primarily as SoundBoard Venture Fund, maintains its commitment to fostering innovation within its portfolio.

The organization was co-founded in 2012 by Jonathan Hakakian, who serves as Managing Director, and Richard Magid, a serial entrepreneur and leadership expert. Their foundational insight centered on the creation of a community where investors could collectively empower emerging businesses beyond mere capital infusion, drawing on their varied expertise to build stronger, more sustainable enterprises. This model underpins their continued investment strategy.

SoundBoard Angel Fund primarily serves as a vital capital source for nascent companies seeking early-stage funding and strategic partnership. Its vision extends to building a robust ecosystem for entrepreneurs, providing the necessary support and collaborative intelligence to transform innovative ideas into market-ready solutions. The fund aims to continue identifying and nurturing companies that demonstrate strong potential for disruption and long-term success.
