Cambridge Angels is a UK business angel network providing smart capital to entrepreneurs.

They are a Cambridge-based group.

Their members, most of whom are successful entrepreneurs, invest in a wide range of start-up and scale-up businesses with a particular focus on deep-tech, and tools and technologies supporting healthcare.

The group was founded[3] in 2001 by Robert Sansom and David Cleevely.[4][5][6]

Cambridge Angels is a group of more than 60 high-net worth investors who have been entrepreneurs. Members invest in and mentor start-up and early-stage companies in Cambridge, London, Oxford and throughout the UK.

Typical funding requirements that Cambridge Angels meet are in the range of £150k to £1.5m - although it is worth noting that several of their portfolio companies have raised significant follow-on funding from their Members and their venture capital partners over several funding rounds.[citation needed]
