About Raza Shaikh

Raza Shaikh came to the U.S. on an H-1B visa and worked his way from software and enterprise cloud and AI projects into startups and angel investing, eventually co-founding NorthBay and building science platforms at the Broad Institute. At LaunchPad Venture Group he's known for being deeply involved with the boards he sits on, co-hosting the On Boards podcast and teaching board governance to other angels, while also believing that strong startups can often go all the way to exit on angel funding alone if founders build relationships with acquirers early on.

Avg Check Size

LaunchPad Venture Group operates as a large angel network of 175+ individual investors who each build their own portfolios, rather than running a pooled fund, with members investing over $125M into 150+ startups since 2001 making it one of the most active angel groups in the U.S. The group focuses on New England science and tech companies raising Pre-Seed through Series A funding, offering a structured two-track system where early-stage teams can start through Catalyst networking events while more mature companies work with member scouting teams before formal pitches.
