Superangel is founded and run by repeat unicorn builders who were among the very first backers of Pipedrive and Bolt, giving them deep pattern recognition with Estonia's most successful founders and a reputation as an Estonian unicorn whisperer fund. The fund has built a distinctive honey badger founder brand, running extreme pitch formats like pitching while ice-drifting or skydiving to select for fearless, relentlessly driven founders, and operates as both a regional deep-tech specialist and community infrastructure builder through initiatives like co-creating Palo Alto Club and running Base Camp growth hackathons.
