Our Story

In Late 2013, after founding SF Angels Group in San Francisco, a 32-member angel group in the heart of San Francisco, DreamFunded.com co-founder Manny Fernandez noticed that many investors wanted to co-invest with him and SF Angel Group to gain insider access to the some of the most promising investment opportunities in Silicon Valley.

How We Are Different:

DreamFunded utilizes our extensive network in Silicon Valley to provide insider access to DreamFunded members using Equity CrowdFunding. This allows DreamFunded to choose from a large pool of investment opportunities to ensure that only the most promising opportunities make it to our platform for investment. Furthermore, we do not charge companies looking to raise money on our platform as many other platforms do. We believe charging startups turn many brilliant companies off from crowdfunding and reduce the amount of qualified investments on the platform.

While Angel investing is rapidly increasing as a funding alternative for early stage companies, most investors, public and private, do not have the proper network or relationships to access proper investment opportunities.
