ah! Ventures runs three separate investment platforms based on startup stage and investor type—First Gear for pre-revenue startups, Angel for raises up to $1M for individual angel investors, and High Tables for $1M-$10M rounds aimed at family offices, VCs, institutional investors, and UHNIs—and it says it narrows down 600+ monthly startup applications to just 8-10 for its Angel platform through a four-step review process. For its earliest-stage startups, ah! Ventures takes equity in exchange for a year of hands-on mentoring instead of just making introductions, and it highlights early, profitable exits, such as one from Entropy Innovations about a year after investing, as part of a track record that has grown to include hundreds of investments and dozens of exits.
